Introducing “Big Grammar Book 2” – Your Ultimate Grammar Resource!
BGB 2 is packed with 101 printable worksheets aimed at teaching and improving grammar skills in English. The topics are wide and varied, beginning with Essential English worksheets that cover the basics, such as the alphabet, days, months, and telling the time. It then moves on to tenses (with a lot of focus on tenses!), irregular verbs, question forms, word order in sentences, parts of English, uncountable nouns, and much more! If you’ve used the first BGB, you know what to expect from this edition. Approximately 25% of the worksheets in this book closely model activities from BGB 1, such as Full Stops 1 & 2 (pp.68-69).
The material begins at the beginner level with alphabet worksheets and progressively increases in difficulty while remaining at the Elementary (A1 / A2) level. Only towards the end do things become “tougher,” introducing articles, conditionals, and phrasal verbs. Don’t worry—all the answers and notes for use are included at the back of this book.
English teachers can use Big Grammar Book 2 in the classroom, although it may be more effective to assign the worksheets as homework, allowing students to focus on speaking, listening, and group work—essentially producing language—during class time. This resource is also ideal for private study, whether for homework or self-study, and is suitable for use in online lessons. Teachers are encouraged to adapt the worksheets, treating many pages as templates for creating their own activities. For example, the sentence building worksheets (from p.60) are perfect for adaptation, among many others.
I hope you enjoy learning English with Big Grammar Book 2!
Remember: A good understanding of English grammar will open doors to numerous opportunities.
