In the book, the grammar points in the “Grammar Grading Outline” are split or merged, and each grammar point is explained in detail around several dimensions, such as its “basic meanings and usage”, “typical example sentences and dialogues”, “supplementary example sentences”, “structural features” and “tips”.
