Úvod

Angličtina – Věty a fráze pro každou situaci umožňuje rychlou orientaci v tom, co chci říci: nevím-li, mám možnost ihned najít příslušnou (nebo podobnou) větu pod příslušným písmenem v abecedě na určitém místě. Knížka vět a sentencí tak může sloužit k rychlé orientaci, ale i k prostému naučení se frází a slovních spojení, které je nutno nezbytně znát, aby bylo možno plynule konverzovat.

Ten, kdo se učí angličtinu (knížka obsahuje jak anglickou, tak britskou angličtinu), může listovat knihou a studovat to, co potřebuje. Je tu vše potřebné, co by člověk měl zvládnout, aby mohl vůbec něco říci. Jsou zde obsaženy i věty, jež se týkají běžně probírané gramatiky. Knížka tak slouží i jako příručka k zopakování si gramatického minima pro toho, kdo již prošel například učebnicí pro samouky či alespoň deseti lekcemi nějaké učebnice. Pro pokročilejší a pokročilé slouží kniha k rychlému zopakování si patřičných vět a k jejich oživení v paměti. V textu se někdy objevují i nespisovné výrazy, jak se objevují v každodenní konverzaci, a tak roste užitečnost těchto vět a výrazů pro každodenní mluvní praxi.
