Start your review of Learn English: Advanced Grammar and Punctuation

  • Mostly focused on punctuation and the use of comma in different types of sentences and a quick review of verb tenses. It's a perfect quick review before an important test.

    The instructor speaks clearly and the course is full of samples and examples. You can practice what you learned through the practice quizzes and optional activities linked in the course.

    I took the whole course in an afternoon watching at 2x speed. It's doable if you have some previous knowledge on the matter. The peer-reviewed assignments are easy and enjoyable.
  • The course was exactly what I was looking for. I felt challenged and as though I grew in writing and understanding just a bit more than previously. For me, because I don't consider myself a seasoned writer like some of you guys, I was just looking to pick up a few tricks for writing. But oh was I in for a treat with this course, I really learned so much with it being the first course and all. If you're new to writing or just want to understand it all. Take a leap of faith and go ahead and try the course, you won't be disappointed.
    Peace and Blessings,
