Riassunto

Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar Workbook is an innovative book of exercises and language tasks for all learners of Brazilian Portuguese. The book is divided into two sections:

• Part A provides exercises based on essential grammatical structures
• Part B practises everyday functions (e.g. making social contact, asking questions and expressing needs).

A comprehensive answer key at the back of the book enables you to check on your progress.

Modern Brazilian Grammar Workbook is ideal for all learners who have a basic knowledge of Brazilian Portuguese, including undergraduates taking Brazilian Portuguese as a major or minor part of their studies, as well as intermediate and advanced students in schools and adult education. It can be used independently or in conjunction with Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar: A Practical Guide.
