This is a grammar course for English beginners. If you have trouble making basic sentences and expressing your ideas in English, then this is the course for you.
This course will ensure you have a solid foundation of grammar to prepare you to move to the next level. Some of the topics covered will be easy, while others are more challenging. All of them are areas that most intermediate students of English make mistakes with.
