About this course

Grammar is not a list of rules to memorise — it is a system of choices. Once you can feel the difference between two forms, you stop translating and start deciding.

This course rebuilds the core system from the ground up: tense and aspect, articles, prepositions, conditionals and reported speech, each anchored in the mistakes you personally make most.

What you will be able to do

  • Choose confidently between present perfect and past simple
  • Use articles correctly, including the cases textbooks rarely explain
  • Write conditionals and hypotheticals without second-guessing
  • Convert direct speech to reported speech automatically
  • Self-correct in real time instead of waiting to be told

Week-by-week curriculum

  1. Week 1

    Error diagnostic

    A written and spoken sample scored into a personal error map for the whole course.

  2. Week 2

    Tense vs aspect

    Why English has twelve tenses and how to reduce them to a handful of decisions.

  3. Week 3

    Perfect forms

    Present perfect, past perfect and the time expressions that force each choice.

  4. Week 4

    Articles

    A/an/the/zero, using an explicit decision path rather than intuition.

  5. Week 5

    Prepositions

    Place, time and dependent prepositions grouped by pattern instead of memorised singly.

  6. Week 6

    Modals & certainty

    Expressing obligation, deduction, permission and probability precisely.

  7. Week 7

    Conditionals

    All four types plus mixed conditionals for regret and hypothetical past.

  8. Week 8

    Passive & nominalisation

    Sounding formal and objective in academic and professional writing.

  9. Week 9

    Reported speech

    Backshifting, questions, commands and reporting verbs beyond 'said'.

  10. Week 10

    Integration & re-test

    Second diagnostic, error-rate comparison, and a maintenance plan.
