CEFR level A1
A sentence expresses a complete thought. Every complete sentence needs three things: a subject (who or what), a verb (the action or state), and end punctuation. If a piece of writing is missing one of these, it is a fragment — an incomplete sentence. This lesson teaches you to write complete sentences and spot fragments.
English has three articles: a, an, and the. Small as they are, they appear in almost every sentence, and using them well makes your writing flow naturally. This lesson shows you exactly when to use each one.
Punctuation is the set of marks that tell your reader where a thought stops, whether it is a question, and how ideas connect. Good punctuation makes writing easy to read. This lesson covers the marks you use most: the period, question mark, exclamation mark, comma, and apostrophe.
Capitalization means using a big letter (A, B, C) at the start of certain words. It is one of the first skills of clear writing. Get it right and your writing instantly looks correct and professional. This lesson covers every rule you need.
