Business Grammar
BEC Vantage sits at B2 and tests grammar in a workplace context. This chapter reviews the tenses, conditionals, modals, and relative clauses that shape clear, professional English.
Future and Passive Forms
Use the future perfect ('will have finalised') for actions complete by a future point, and the passive ('the invoice was sent') when the receiver of the action matters more than the doer.
Conditionals and Modals
The first conditional ('If we dispatch today, the goods will arrive') describes real future possibilities. Modals like 'must' and 'should' express obligation and advice in workplace instructions.
Relative Clauses
Relative pronouns connect ideas: 'who' for people, 'which' for things, and 'whose' to show possession, as in 'the CEO, whose presentation impressed investors'.
