A2 (Elementary)

A postcard or a diary entry is a short, personal piece of writing about your experiences — where you are, what you are doing, and how you feel. It is a perfect A2 task because it mixes tenses naturally and lets you write about real life. This lesson shows you how to structure both.

Writing a short email is one of the most useful real-world A2 skills — for messaging a teacher, a friend, or a company. A good email has a clear structure and the right level of politeness. This lesson gives you a reliable template you can reuse every time.

Describing a place — a room, a city, a picture — uses two key tools: there is / there are to say what exists, and prepositions of place to say where things are. Together they let you paint a clear picture in words. This lesson shows you how.

Describing people is a key writing skill — for stories, introductions, and everyday descriptions. English uses different verbs for different kinds of description: be for states, have for features, and the present continuous for clothes someone is wearing. This lesson brings them together.

To write about the future, English uses two main forms: be going to and will. Both talk about the future, but we choose them for slightly different reasons. This lesson shows you when to use each so your writing about plans and predictions is clear and natural.

The simple past tense is how we write about finished actions and events — things that happened and are now complete. It is essential for telling stories, describing your day, and writing about your experiences. This lesson covers regular and irregular verbs and how to build past sentences.

Subject-verb agreement means the verb must match its subject: a singular subject takes a singular verb, and a plural subject takes a plural verb. Getting this right makes your writing sound correct and clear. This lesson covers the rules and the tricky cases.

The present continuous (also called present progressive) describes actions happening right now, at this moment. We use it a lot when describing pictures, scenes, and what people are doing. It is formed with be (am/is/are) + verb + -ing.
