Course Description

Navigating the Nuances: Unveiling the Depth of English Grammar with ESL Level 3

As you continue on your linguistic journey through the intricacies of English grammar, the pathway ahead becomes richer in depth and varied in its shades. The third milestone in our series of five ESL grammar courses, ESL Grammar Level 3, stands as a beacon to those committed to honing their command over this dynamic language. Rooted in the foundational knowledge acquired in Levels 1 and 2, this course seamlessly elevates your understanding, guiding you through more advanced grammatical terrains.

ESL Grammar Level 3 is not just a course; it's an intellectual odyssey. Delve deep into the multifaceted realm of passive voice, the enigmatic present perfect, the intricate webs of relative clauses, and the commanding imperative. Journey further as we unravel the nuanced art of using participles and gerunds across diverse contexts. We dedicate a meticulous focus to the present perfect, illuminating nuances such as still/yet/already and the pivotal for/since distinction. We also offer you the keys to discern between the delicate balance of the present perfect and the past simple—a distinction that is a cornerstone of English finesse.

But the exploration doesn't end there. Building upon our previous course, we dive deeper into the captivating world of phrasal verbs, the subtle differentiations between like/as and the meticulous dance between a(n) and the. Expand your conversational repertoire with expressions like "I want you to..." and "I told you to...", and refine your usage with constructs like quite/pretty/fairly/rather, so/such, tag questions, and the adept use of auxiliary verbs for conversational brevity.

Given the profound nature of topics such as present perfect, passive voice, and relative clauses, we supplement your journey with expanded discussions on crafting compound and complex sentences, intricately weaving them with subordinating conjunctions.

Our course is structured into 22 meticulously curated units, each presenting the material in a lucid, systematic, and engaging manner. These units are enriched with reinforcing exercises, ensuring that the concepts take root. To gauge your journey's progress, interspersed exams and a comprehensive final assessment await. Elevating the learning experience, each unit is paired with an audio recording, providing an auditory exploration of the material—catering to varied learning styles and deepening comprehension.

Whether you're a novice venturing into the realms of English grammar or an intermediate speaker aiming for mastery, ESL Grammar Level 3 is a veritable lighthouse. It shines a spotlight on some of the most intricate and challenging English grammar facets, proving invaluable in your ascent towards linguistic excellence. Join us and sculpt your path to English eloquence.
