ADVICE

Practice All Conditionals

  • Learn zero, first, second, third and mixed conditionals and practise with real scenarios.
  • Use them to express cause, hypotheticals, predictions, and regrets precisely.
INSIGHT

Use Passive To Shift Focus

  • Passive voice shifts focus from the doer to the action or recipient of the action.
  • It is common in news and formal writing to report events without naming the performer.
ADVICE

Choose Modals Deliberately

  • Study modals to control tone: permission, obligation, advice, and certainty.
  • Choose modals (can/may, must/have to, should/ought to) to refine politeness and meaning.
