Introduction
Congratulations on choosing 
Practice Makes Perfect: Basic English
for your first 
year of English language learning.
There is really only one way to learn a new language, and that is to build your 
vocabulary, learn the verb tenses and the mechanics of that language, and then 
practice, practice, practice. This workbook was designed to help you do just that.
This workbook will help you to proficiently learn and effectively master the 
strategies and methods needed to provide you with a solid foundation in English. 
All the lessons are presented in a simple and progressive format designed to help 
you retain the knowledge and gain confidence by applying and reinforcing the 
skills acquired throughout the workbook.
You will learn the mechanics of English through user-friendly, interactive, 
and well-constructed grammar exercises. These exercises are loaded with everyday 
basic words intended to help you quickly and efficiently enrich your vocabulary 
and give you a firm understanding of the lesson before moving on to the next.
Ample space is provided in each lesson for you to record your new vocabu-
lary words in a central location to allow you to study these words regularly and 
refer back to them quickly when necessary. Be sure to learn these words by heart 
as they are basic and useful English words.
The second section of 
Practice Makes Perfect: Basic E nglish
provides you with 
a variety of review exercises specially designed to allow you to measure your com-
prehension and retention of the concepts covered in the lessons of this workbook. 
Since these review exercises are directly related to the learning objectives of this 
workbook, they will allow you to recognize your achievements and highlight your 
progress. They will also provide you with the opportunity to strengthen your abil-
ities by serving as extra practice for the material previously studied. To assure a 
fair and accurate self-evaluation of your progress, be sure to complete the entire 
workbook before attempting these review exercises.
This Premium Third Edition is enhanced by 50 pronunciation exercises, 
available as streaming audio through the McGraw-Hill Education Language Lab 
app. These exercises provide extensive practice of the sounds that learners of Eng-
lish find particularly difficult—simply listen and repeat. The text of the thirty 
example sentences for each exercise is provided in the appendix of this book, as 
well as within the app. 
Learning a new language is an interesting and exciting journey that is 
enhanced when the learning material is presented in a stimulating and enjoyable 
manner that encourages a learner to keep moving forward.
