Mastering Grammar and Sentences

Advanced grammar includes complex sentence structures, verb tenses, and agreement rules that make your English sound natural and accurate.

What You Need to Know

  • Complex Sentences: Linking ideas using conjunctions like 'although', 'because', or 'since'.
  • Perfect Tenses: Expressing actions that happened at different times (e.g., "I have finished my homework").
  • Passive Voice: Focusing on the action rather than the doer (e.g., "The cake was eaten by the children").
  • Conditional Sentences: Talking about possibilities or hypothetical situations (e.g., "If I had time, I would travel").

Tips for Mastery

  • Practice rewriting simple sentences into more complex ones.
  • Check your writing for grammar errors.
