Course Description

This is a course for learning the English language. ESL Grammar Level 2 is a low intermediate course. After you know the fundamentals of pronouns, present simple tense, and past simple tense, you are ready to take this course.

ESL Grammar Level 2 continues your English language instruction. This course digs more deeply into the English language, specifically proper grammar usage.

This course begins to add language complexity and increase your ability to speak English properly. We'll review present and past simple tenses and continue on with instruction in the progressives, futures, and modals which will help complete your understanding of English fundamentals. There are three main additions to English language instruction in ESL Grammar Level 2: progressive or continuous tenses, some future tenses, and modal verbs.

This course discusses present progressive and past progressive as well. It also covers the future tense with present progressive, present simple, will (and other modals), and be going to. Additionally, this course also covers more minor language essentials such as some/any, enough/too, too/either, much/many, make/do, used to, go + place, comparatives and superlatives, telling time, phrasal verbs, and some indirect speech. It also completes the student's instruction on possessives and pronouns.

Further, modal verbs are discussed in depth. In terms of writing, coordinating conjunctions are reviewed, providing the student with the full range of compound sentence options. Complex sentences are also covered in this course, complete with a variety of subordinating conjunctions for the student to build his or her command of the language and ability to combine ideas in writing.

Each lesson consists of written explanations and exercises, HD video, and an additional audio explanation. With the completion of this course, the student will have a solid grasp of the essential fundamentals of English and will be ready for the next course in the series: ESL Grammar Level 3.
