Shin Kanzen Master Grammar for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) N2

Shin Kanzen Master N2 Grammar covers 211 grammar forms for the JLPT N2. The book is divided into three parts: an introduction to the question formats and how to approach them, a skills development section that covers all three grammar question types on the JLPT, and a mock test. Grammar forms are organised by meaning and function, so patterns that are easily confused are studied together. Explanations are in Japanese with example sentences. Answers are in a separate 9-page booklet.

This is the strongest book in the N2 set and a must-have for N2 and above. The explanations are detailed, the exercises are abundant, and the way similar grammar forms are grouped makes it much easier to understand the differences between them. At N2, grammar gets subtle and the exam tests fine distinctions. This is the book that prepares you for that.
