Upper-Intermediate Grammar
B2 grammar tests finer control: the passive, all conditionals, reported speech, relative clauses and verb patterns (gerund vs infinitive). This chapter reviews the structures examined in the Use of English tasks.
Vocabulary in Context
B2 vocabulary distinguishes near-synonyms, tests idiomatic phrasal verbs and strong collocations. This chapter helps you choose the precise word for the register and meaning.
Word Formation
B2 Use of English includes a word-formation task where you transform a root word, sometimes adding a prefix and a suffix and making internal spelling changes. This chapter reviews the productive affixes.
Prepositions and Articles
B2 tests dependent prepositions in less obvious pairs and article use in idiomatic phrases. This chapter reviews the trickier patterns.
Error Correction
At B2, errors are subtler: wrong verb patterns, misused conditionals, and confusion between similar structures. This chapter helps you detect them.
