Have you studied these topics before attempting that English Exam?

Have you ever wondered what grammar topics you need to study before any Exam? If the answer is yes, stick around. Below I have come up with a few B2 to C2 topics you can start with.

Relative Clauses:

Relative clauses are dependent clauses that provide additional information about a noun in the main clause. They are introduced by relative pronouns (such as “who,” “whom,” “whose,” “which,” or “that”) and add details and context to sentences.

Noun Clauses:

Noun clauses function as nouns within sentences. They can serve as subjects, objects, or complements and express ideas, thoughts, or information. Noun clauses often start with words like “that,” “whether,” “what,” or “if.”

Adverb Clauses:

Adverb clauses are dependent clauses that function as adverbs. They provide information about when, where, why, how, or to what extent something happens. Adverb clauses typically start with subordinating conjunctions like “since,” “because,” “although,” “if,” and “when.”

Prepositional Clauses:

Prepositional clauses are introduced by prepositions and function as adjectives or adverbs within a sentence. They provide additional details about nouns or verbs. These clauses begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, or gerund.

Gerunds and Infinitives:

Gerunds are verb forms ending in “-ing” that function as nouns. They can act as subjects, objects, or complements. Infinitives are the base forms of verbs (e.g., “to walk,” “to eat”) and can serve as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs within sentences.

Passive Voice:

Passive voice is a grammatical construction where the subject of a sentence receives the action rather than performing it. It is formed using a form of the verb “to be” with the past participle of the main verb. Passive voice is used to shift focus from the doer of the action to the action itself.

If Conditionals and Mixed Types:

If conditionals are sentences expressing a condition and its potential result. They are structured using different conditional forms (zero, first, second, third) to indicate the likelihood of the condition being met and the result occurring. Mixed conditionals combine elements of different conditional forms to express complex relationships between conditions and results.

Prefixes and Suffixes:

Prefixes are affixes added to the beginning of a word to modify its meaning, tense, or part of speech. Suffixes are added to the end of a word and indicate pluralization, verb tense, adjectives, and more.
