Hi Arpit! Since you specifically mention grammar, thought I would mention that the entire Grammar section of our sentence correction book Sentence Correction Nirvana is available for free preview at pothi.

This would cover pretty much everything that you need to know, to do justice to Sentence Correction in GMAT. Do note that Grammar is a vast subject; however, GMAT does not require you to know everything about everything. Hence, if you use a general grammar book for GMAT SC preparation, it might be bit of an overkill.

I second the recommendations of the MPrep SC Strategy Guide, but I'll also add that the MPrep Foundations of GMAT Verbal book is great. It's a good starting resource if your command of English is weak in general - it'll equip you with the terminology you need to know in order to get the most out of the SC Strategy Guide.

If you are a non-native speaker, the highest leverage thing you can do with your time is spend it with a native American English tutor reviewing gmat problems together. It can be done well with any reading or writing tutor.

Definitely get the Manhattan SC guide.

SC has a ton of specific rules that you must apply on the GMAT. Without knowing these cold, you are going to seriously hurt your score. GMAT even has specific rules that are debatable in the English language to begin with, so studying with the Manhattan SC guide will be much more helpful than using a random English grammar text book.

I would also suggest reading high level material to help improve Verbal in general. Publications such as The Economist and the Wall Street Journal are great resources. They are very well written, constructed and require you to take ideas out of complicated paragraphs, which you will have to do on reading comprehension. This will help you get used to the more nuanced aspects of the English language.
