Grammar & Tenses
Accurate tense use is central to a strong IELTS band. This chapter reviews the present perfect, future perfect, past continuous, and conditionals. Note that this practice set covers English language usage only and does not reproduce the IELTS Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking modules.
Vocabulary & Collocations
Band scores reward natural word combinations. This chapter focuses on collocations, the words that habitually go together, and on choosing precise vocabulary that fits the context.
Articles & Prepositions
Articles and prepositions are small words that strongly affect accuracy. This chapter covers when to use a, an, and the, and how to choose the right dependent preposition.
Sentence Transformation
Rephrasing a sentence while keeping its meaning demonstrates grammatical range. This chapter practises reported speech, the passive voice, and comparative and 'enough' structures.
Common Errors
This chapter targets frequent accuracy slips: subject-verb agreement with tricky subjects, prepositions of time, and verb patterns after words like 'suggest'.
