If you do want to 'begin at the beginning' and revisit the rules of English grammar in some depth then we can recommend [[Everyday English for Grown-Ups: Getting to Grips with the Basics by Michelle Finlay]] or [[I Used to Know That: English by Patrick Scrivenor]]. Should you want to know more about the origin of words then have a look at [[Little Oxford Dictionary of Word Origins by Julia Cresswell (Editor)]]. If you're worried about clichés you'll find [[It's Been Said Before: A Guide to the Use and Abuse of Cliches by Orin Hargraves]] is the best thing since sliced bread. (Yes, I know. I'm sorry.)
