Right Word Wrong Word is a Reference and Practice Book based on common errors
in English. It covers items like the following:
• Words often confused, where the student's native language interferes with
English (false friends): for example, benzine/petrol.
• Word-confusions that exist within English itself: for example, rob/steal/burgle.
• Structures in the student's language that interfere with English structures: for
example, it has compared with there is/it is.
• Confusions of structures within English itself: for example, must/had to.
• Particular words and structures which are a well-known source of error: for
example, get and enjoy.
Right Word Wrong Word is therefore a comprehensive usage book that provides
answers to students' questions that are not easily available from any other source.
