Well, Wren and Martin is supposed to be the best Grammar book for the English language. However, you may get baffled seeing the amount of grammatical concepts there. You may go through that , if you want. If you find that that is too much of information overload in Wren and Martin, you may go through the SC Grail as the first section of the book covers grammar required for the GMAT. I think that should give you a good grasp of the grammar required on the GMAT!

Raj is right there.

If you want to learn grammar you need to know to score on GMAT, then go with the SC Grail. It is concise and pedagogical.

I would recommend Wren & Martin as a general read. However, if you really want to focus on the GMAT, I would definitely recommend using the MGMAT SC Guide (https://www.manhattangmat.com/storeitems ... 26&catid=6)
