Course Information
Course Overview
The Sequel to Master English Grammar - Advanced Level
This course follows on from my earlier course Master English Grammar - Advanced Level, and it is also aimed at those who learn English as a second language. There are many new topics on this course, and many old ones which are challenging, and therefore worth repeating. I encourage every student to make a suggestion for a topic for a future class. I promise to make the best suggestions into lessons, then upload them to the course. Although this interactive course is already very large, it is a work in progress, so you can be sure it will grow larger, and it will do so thanks to your ideas.
The course includes the following:
Downloadable lectures (via the Udemy App) on essential grammar topics (British teacher, 20 years' TEFL experience)
Advanced-level lectures on phrases and clauses, tense and aspect, verbs, prepositions, nouns, determiners, conjunctions, adjectives, adverbs, and many more
44 quizzes, testing and tracking your understanding of the major themes on this course.
The opportunity to suggest topics on the Q and A or in a message, and I promise to make many into future classes that I will upload to this course for everyone's benefit
The opportunity to ask questions on the topics that really confuse you, and I promise to reply within 24 hours
Advice on how to avoid the most common mistakes
Lifetime membership (more lessons and resources regularly added)
And the following topics are included:
An analysis of grammatical terms used to describe the main parts of speech (e.g. copular verb, collective noun, gradable adjective)
An analysis of the different types of phrase and clause (e.g. absolute phrase, appositive phrase, sentential clause, subordinate clause)
An analysis of the usage of the four aspects (simple, continuous, perfect simple, perfect continuous) in various tenses, modals, to + infinitives, gerunds, and participles
An analysis of different types of verb, noun, adjective, preposition, determiner, adverb, and conjunction
An analysis of collocations (adverb-verb), comparisons, and parallelism.
I expect this list to grow with your help! Please join us and let me know which grammar topics you would like to learn more about. Let's make this course bigger and better together.

Love when teachers talk about incorrect uses, not only good examples, and mention what sounds weird to native speakers and what wouldn't they say. And Dave is one of the few teachers who do it.
