C1 Grammar Focus

What it is: Advanced grammar choices for style, emphasis, and precision. What it’s for: Sound natural, formal when needed, and express subtle meaning. Example: “Had I known earlier, I would have acted differently.”

Focus areas

  • Advanced conditionals & inversions (Had I…, Were I…)
  • Mixed conditionals (past condition → present result)
  • Modals for speculation (may/might/could have)
  • Complex relative clauses and reduced clauses
  • Advanced passive/reporting structures (“It is said that…”)

Practice

  • Rewrite 5 sentences/week: simple → advanced (same meaning).
  • Collect 10 “academic connectors” and use them in writing.

Hard words (Glossary)

  • *emphasis* /ˈemfəsɪs/: nhấn mạnh
  • *subtle* /ˈsʌtl/: tinh tế
  • *inversion* /ɪnˈvɜːʃən/: đảo ngữ
  • *speculation* /ˌspekjʊˈleɪʃən/: suy đoán
