How to use these lessons

  1. 1. Start at your level

    Topics are grouped by the CEFR level where learners usually meet them. If you are not sure of your level, take the free level test first.

  2. 2. Read the rule, then the examples

    The form table and the examples matter more than the explanation. Say a few example sentences out loud and change one word in each.

  3. 3. Take the quiz and read the feedback

    Each answer is explained. A wrong answer with a clear reason teaches more than a lucky right one, so try again a day later.

  4. 4. Meet it again in reading

    Grammar sticks when you see it in context. Each topic links to graded texts that use the structure, and then to real books at your level.

Take the free English level test to find your level first.

Grammar works best with reading

Rules help you notice a structure; reading lets you see it hundreds of times in real sentences. That repetition is what makes it automatic. Pair each lesson with a short graded text, then move on to a book at your level.

FAQ

Questions about learning grammar

Which English grammar should I learn first?

Start with the present simple and present continuous, then articles and prepositions of time and place. After that, the past simple, past continuous, present perfect and future forms let you talk about most everyday situations.

Are these grammar lessons really free?

Yes. Every lesson and quiz is free and works without an account. Your quiz scores are saved in your own browser, and you can see them on the My Learning page.

What level are the lessons for?

The lessons cover the core grammar of levels A1, A2 and B1 on the CEFR scale, with the first B2 topics. Each lesson shows its level, so you can start where you are and move up.

How do I know which level I am?

Take the free Okuzeka English level test. It gives an estimated CEFR level from A1 to C2 in 5, 10 or 30 minutes, with no sign-up.

Is grammar practice enough to become fluent?

No. Grammar practice helps you understand and avoid common errors, but fluency comes from a lot of reading and listening at the right level, plus speaking and writing practice. Use the lessons as a reference while you read.
