I am finding for a reliable book that lay out the rules of grammar undoubtedly and which I can pass on to when writing for Assignment Writing Service. I only ask that it be use-able perfect, and so simplified.

I generally don't mind when people break grammar rules and don't tend to have any grammar pet peeves but I hate hearing people do this!

I work for https://writemypaperbro.com/ and I still teach my ESL students what it is and how to use it, but I don't do much more than a brief overview and mention. More traditional grammar teachers, English teachers and ESL teachers may cringe at me saying it, but I think it's just an evolution in the language.
