English grammar video lessons: tenses, prepositions, conditionals and more, explained clearly with examples you can use.

About these grammar lessons

These English grammar video lessons explain one topic at a time – conditionals, prepositions, the passive, the present perfect, reported speech, phrasal verbs, articles and more. Each topic is split into short parts with clear examples, so you can study a little every day. Most lessons are for intermediate learners, but the first part of each topic is a good introduction for everyone.

How to learn grammar so you can use it

  1. Watch one short part and write down two or three example sentences.
  2. Change the examples so they are about your own life.
  3. Listen to stories that use the grammar. Hearing it many times in context helps you use it automatically when you speak – try our Present Perfect Tense Story.
  4. Review the topic a week later before you move on.
