HI Ines
Good morning ;) the rules say it depends on what kind of English book I guess:
"You can use texts from other websites or books in your worksheets if you add your own exercises or activities (For example, reading comprehension questions, etc). Please don �t take texts from other ESL websites or books, it would be unfair."
Have a nice week Hugs Sara |

I think you can use text from a novel or a fairy tale, but not text from school books. |

Of course you can. Yet, according to the
site rules and instructions, you �ve to do two essential things : (1)
mention the text documentation, i.e. state where you have quoted the
text because of private ownership and patent, (2) add your own
activities and/or exercises. These are two conditions you have to follow
in case you quote something others own. Thanks!

Hi Ines,
It is fine as long as it isn �t an esl book, but Dr. Ahmad El-Maghraby �s idea of quoting your source is also a good one I think.
Hope this helps.
