2026 Simpsons Syntax
2026 Simpsons Syntax
Description
Book Introduction
This year, the "Simpson English" basic book series has been revised to reflect the revised civil service English exam format starting in 2025, focusing on two directions: "eliminating branch issues" and "reflecting them in private language exams."
Among them, 『Simpson Syntax』 is the second basic book of 『Simpson English』, and it helps build the basics of syntax by patterning English interpretation so that even the most complex sentences can be easily analyzed.
The newly revised exam aims to assess on-the-job skills by reducing the weight of simple rote memorization and reflecting the trends of private language exams, while emphasizing the importance of reading comprehension.
Accordingly, "Simpson Syntax" has carefully selected sentences that can be applied directly to reading comprehension and can also be used to prepare for the revised grammar problem types, such as paragraph and blank-type problems.
In addition, we have put a lot of effort into making it possible to practice perfect interpretation with just one volume of "Simpson Syntax," by including a detailed and diagrammatic grammar analysis booklet for easy review and self-study, as well as additional appendices of polysemy, prepositions, confusing vocabulary, and irregular verb tables that are cumbersome for test takers to organize on their own.

Publisher's Review
1. Syntax Basics Optimized for the Changed Exam
In line with recent changes in exam guidelines, we've boldly removed unnecessary and superficial content, allowing you to focus on and efficiently study essential grammar points to prepare for the changing exam.


2 A basic book containing the know-how of Professor Shim Woo-cheol
Many test takers often complain about difficulties in interpreting complex and diverse English sentences.
However, civil servant English classes are focused on grammar rather than English interpretation.
"Simpson Phrases" is a textbook that incorporates the know-how of teacher Woo-cheol Shim to help you understand English sentences accurately in Korean.


3. Establishing the rules of interpretation through grammatical patterns that are easily visible and carefully selected practice problems.
"Simpson Phrases" categorizes English sentences that frequently appear in civil service exams into representative patterns and presents accurate interpretation methods.
We have patterned frequently occurring phrases in a simple and systematic way so that anyone can easily understand and master the syntax.
You can also immediately apply the learned grammar patterns through carefully selected interpretation practice problems tailored to the latest exam trends.


4. Friendly and detailed grammar analysis collection & appendix for additional learning
Each sentence is diagrammed so that you can grasp the phrases that appear in the practice problems at a glance. You can enjoy maximum review effect through direct reading and interpretation, as well as smooth interpretation.
We have also included an appendix section to help you learn more about interpretation from a vocabulary perspective, helping you get one step closer to achieving a high score in English.
