In a compact, easy-to-use format, Modern Standard Arabic Grammar offers a convenient guide to grammar for any student of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), the version of Arabic mostly commonly used in journalism, formal writing, and literature. Drawing on over a decade of experience as a full-time teacher of Arabic, Azza Hassanein explains the rules in straightforward English, illustrating usage with examples throughout. The book covers all the rules of grammar and morphology that students require for elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels of Arabic. As a compact guide, it is an ideal auxiliary, no matter what textbook the student is using.

What i have to say about this book?

The book is very concise as the title says and the intro. to the book. After reading through the book, i just felt this book is like Aljaroomiyah or other Arabic grammar text that many scholars gave explanation to. 

This book touched almost all basic grammar details in brief. 

But it didn't mention the types of كم there are, so i feel a bit bad as i made a mistake on it in my homework. After that i was liking, why didn't this book mention it. I learned it in madinah book 3 but i forgot. MAsh-Allah. 

Anyway, the book is very good for review after going through many grammar books alhamdulillah.

I would recommend to buy it. The author makes some materials very easy to understand as well. Alhamdulillah. Also, i like the fact the Arabic grammar terms are given in Arabic, which is a great help always. Alhamdulillah.

So, Yea, that's it.
