where can we find grammar exercises for learning English online for free in this video I'm going
to show you five websites where there's free activities with feedback working on grammar
all focused on learning English as always if you like the video please like it please share it
and of course please comment on which of the websites you like the best let's get started
so this first one grammar monster is such a rich resource it's actually going to be difficult for
me in a quick video to really take you through and just show you what's available here but let
me point out a couple of things if we scroll down and we go to the parts of speech you've actually
got a video lesson if you want to watch the video lesson about adjectives but if you click here
you get very detailed information about adjectives now i guess that really this is for higher level
students because it starts fairly simply but then goes into a lot more detail and again you've got
the video here now if i scroll down towards the bottom you get this really interesting feature
which is prepare my test and if you click on that and then start the test you've then got to go
through and do these activities so an adjective is a describing word so that would be the correct one
and then scroll down here um select the adjective so that would be old and then we've got another
one etc now it becomes quite detailed so again you need to have read all the grammar explanations
first gone through that first page then it's time to do these exercises and you'll see
it's quite a detailed exercise so this is a great website for kind of working with grammar
if I just click back here and we come back to here notice that okay we've looked at adjectives
but if we scroll up we've also got lots of other really useful sections I particularly like this
one here that easily confuse words and if we click down here again we get a really interesting
list here of words that are easily confusing I can definitely agree with some of these examples
having been a teacher for many years so let's click on this one here for example again we get
uh some examples okay and then we get the chance to take a quick test as well so this is a great
website and it's worth exploring in detail English club.com another interesting website again with
lots and lots of content again you need to kind of look through it and spend time on it I'm just
going to scroll down and just show you a couple of things so if we come down here you'll notice that
you've got for example the top 10 most popular things if you go to verb tenses which is something
that people always want to learn then you've got loads and loads of examples here I'm going to look
at for example present continuous so we click on that and what we get again is grammar explanations
uh and you can see them here with lots of examples and that's followed by as you can see scroll down
it's got again quite a lot of detail it's not quite as detailed as grammar monster but the
levels perhaps a little bit lower than grammar monster but if we scroll down again to the bottom
you then get present continuous quiz you can click back on that and again you can do an activity so
again you click on the correct answer in this particular case
and again once you've done the activity and you can see it's fairly you can check
and get your score okay so again another website where it's worth spending a bit of time looking
at the content because there's lots of stuff on here if we just click again here just to come
back to the main page you can see that there's absolutely masses of material so we've got this
top 10 here which we had a quick look at the verb tenses but if we look over here on the
left hand side we've got lots of other areas including vocabulary grammar pronunciation
let's have a quick look at one example so if we click on listening lessons one one thing to keep
in mind here is that sometimes the navigation can get a little bit tricky but I'm going to
come down to this one here and listen to the news so I'm going to choose that as an area that I'm
interested in and then what I get is all sorts of news stories I get a whole index of news stories
so let's have a look at this one here world's oldest living couple celebrate their 80th
anniversary if we click on that then it's going to bring up a story news story for us to listen to
here okay so and again there's actually activities to do afterwards to check your understanding
trouble with these free websites is always that there's advertising on the screen
so sometimes it can be difficult to navigate but you can see that there is a lot of
content on here not just the grammar area but also lots of other areas for learning English
okay the next website we're going to look at is called English grammar
online and probably the easiest thing again like all of these websites there's lots of content
I'm trying to focus on stuff really taken in in mind lots of students are trying to learn
English on their own and so I'm trying to show you websites where you've got activities to do
um always keep in mind that free websites you've got to kind of be check the quality it's the you
know the the activities are not going to be as good necessarily as paid ones but there
is quite a lot of stuff on here let's go for example to pass progressive so past continuous
uh we get a grammar explanation with lots of examples and then again underneath you get the
chance to do different activities related to that so let's say for example past progressive
level one level two level three tests so we can click on level one and then we can do a test here
to see how well we do as you can see that test has got lots of different uh aspects to it so
here we've just simply completed the sentences it it was raining it wasn't raining or was it raining
etc uh here you've got to write of course the continuous form of these sentences here you
put the drop down and choose the correct sentence we were the dog was barking etc so again a website
with loads of content again a website where you get immediate feedback you can check your answers
here at the bottom loads and loads of content here click on the button here at the top to
come back to the main page lots of grammar content here again other sections if we just scroll down
and have another little look um perhaps if we were looking at say present simple or
present perfect simple again click here we're going to get some explanations of the grammar
and then that's going to follow by a whole choice of different tests that we can do um
for example let's click on this one here again it's some sort of test to see how much you
understand by completing all the information just a super quick bit of promotion and we get
back to the video if you do like the video that you're watching and you want more free videos

to the video now so the next website we're going to look at is called my English pages and if we
scroll down you'll see there's absolutely masses of material on this website and let's just quickly
jump onto one of the exercises let's do perhaps uh present simple perfect against presents perfect
sorry present perfect simple and present perfect continuous come down uh we have got here if we
want to read some quick grammar explanations we can click on them and then we can do these
exercises okay um so this one here for example it says write sentences in the present perfect simple
and then I guess underneath we're going to have some questions in the present perfect simple and
then we've also got uh some other activities to do here and notice that afterwards you can check
answers so you can just click and check all the answers in one go which I particularly like that
one's called my English pages I'm just going to click back again like a lot of these websites
there's all sorts of sections on here available to us okay so we can click over to vocabulary as well
loads of stuff on vocabulary again look at these different topics let's look at perhaps science and
technology if we click on that then again we're going to come through to some vocabulary practice
activities you can see here we get different words uh basically explanations of the words
and then um we've got an exercise related to science and technology and here it's a drop down
menu we choose the words so another great site and another site again where you really do need to
look at the content because there's so much the final website on this list is English grammar
secrets this is slightly different because it's basically business English again if we
come down got all sorts of content and in fact we can just jump in here let's jump into perhaps the
present simple and again we scroll down we get an explanation first of all of the use
of the present simple okay so we get some information about it and then we also get
an exercise that we can do at the end and this one here for example let's just try and do
this one so he likes to eat burgers we click on that and then we can continue to the next they
want to play football hang and click on the button I swim every week etcetera so obviously as usual
the standard when you're using free tools is not always that amazing they're often very simplistic
sometimes the explanations are very good and useful notice these ones also have videos
linked to them which can be really useful as well okay really hope that was useful as I said before
