A Student's Grammar of the English Language (Grammar Reference)

A Student's Grammar of the English Language - Sidney Greenbaum, Randolph Quirk, Randolf Quirk Read from cover to cover to make sure I knew enough grammar-related terms in English, and to avoid making mistakes stemming from confusion between English and French wording (such as the one likely to happen with attributive adjectives).

A difficult read if the bases of descriptive grammar aren't known, though—and I found it lacking a little when it comes to verb clauses and -ING or HAVE -EN aspects. But otherwise useful.
