Grammar & Vocabulary

This course covers the most important grammatical rules and common mistakes. You will see that this course will refresh your knowledge, but that there are also many rules that you may not know or apply.

The topics include:

• use of the basic tenses (present, past, and future);
• sentence analysis and word order;
• adjectives and adverbs;
• relative pronouns;
• phrases starting with ‘if’;
• plural forms of nouns;
• gerunds and infinitives;
• active and passive;
• punctuation.

People who learn English sometimes worry about their grammar, but not being able to find the right words may also hinder successful communication. The words you choose to use, or choose not to use, can convey more than just ideas. They can have a different meaning, contain an underlying message or opinion, or even change the course of history!

With about 800 new words being added to the English dictionary every year, it is difficult to determine where to start. 

This course shows you how best to learn new words in a way you will actually remember them. You create a personal dictionary of useful words to be used in a business context or your private life.
