English grammar is the set of rules for how words change and combine to form correct sentences: tenses, verbs, pronouns, prepositions, and more. Master the patterns and the rest of your English falls into place.
Free grammar guides with clear explanations, short videos and exercises you can do at your own pace. Pick a topic below to clear up why we say what we say, then use it in a real conversation.

How to use these grammar guides
- Start with the rule that trips you up in real conversations. Not the one that looks easiest, the one that actually causes mistakes when you speak.
- Watch the explanation, then do the exercises. Understanding a rule and using it are different skills. The exercises turn the first into the second.
- Use it out loud with a teacher. Say new sentences in a real conversation where someone can correct you. That is where grammar becomes fluency.
Grammar rules are easy to read and harder to use without thinking. Practice them in real conversation with an experienced native teacher in a free trial lesson, no credit card needed.

Frequently asked questions
Are these English grammar guides free?
Yes. Every grammar guide here is free to read and use, including the explanations, videos and exercises. No account or payment is required. Many are sample lessons from the Live English Club, so you can see exactly how we teach.
Which English grammar should I learn first?
Start with the tenses you use every day (present simple and present continuous, present perfect vs past simple), then modal verbs and prepositions. Pick the point that causes mistakes when you speak, rather than working through the list in order.
What does English grammar cover?
The core areas are tenses, verbs (including phrasal verbs), pronouns, conjunctions and prepositions, and adjectives and adverbs, plus how words combine into correct sentences. You will find guides for each of these above.
How do I actually improve my grammar, not just understand it?
Read the rule, do the exercises, then use it out loud in conversation with a teacher who can correct you in the moment. Aim for about 90 percent speaking practice and 10 percent review. That balance is what turns a rule you know into grammar you use naturally.

- Focus first on the tenses, verbs and prepositions you use most.
- Every guide is free and includes clear explanations, videos and exercises.
