C1 English Practice

Refine advanced tense/aspect, formal inversion, emphasis, unreal time, future-in-the-past and sophisticated reporting patterns used in academic, professional and persuasive English.

British English usage: this pathway uses standard British English as the default teaching model.

Cambridge Grammar reference: advanced structures are explained by register, temporal viewpoint, remoteness, information focus and reporting pattern rather than form alone.
