Grammar

The rules that hold every English sentence together — explained with real examples and the mistakes learners make most often.

Grammar notes here move from the everyday (present simple, articles, prepositions) to the more advanced (conditionals, reported speech, passive voice). Each note ends with a short 'common mistake' section so you can check your own writing.
