Reaching an intermediate English level is a significant achievement, and building on that foundation with advanced grammatical structures opens doors to more precise and natural communication. This course, led by Jess Harris — an English teacher since 2010 and academic manager since 2016 — focuses on conditionals and hypothetical situations, essential tools for expressing complex ideas in English.
What topics does this B2 English course cover?
The course introduces a well-rounded set of grammatical and communicative skills designed for learners at the B2 level. Here is an overview of what you can expect to practice and master:
- Future perfect passive: a structure used to describe actions that will have been completed by a certain point in the future, placing emphasis on the action rather than the doer [0:29].
- Hypothetical results: expressing outcomes of imagined or unreal situations, a core skill in conditional sentences [0:35].
- Impersonal possessive adjectives: using possessive forms in a general or detached way, common in formal or academic English [0:38].
- Reasons and causes: explaining why something happens, using connectors and structures that add clarity to your arguments [0:42].
- Impersonal beliefs: stating opinions or widely held views without attributing them to a specific person, often seen in phrases like "it is believed that" [0:45].
- Complex adverbs: going beyond simple adverbs to use more sophisticated modifiers that add nuance to sentences [0:48].
- Describing outcomes of a situation: communicating the results or consequences of events in a structured way [0:51].
- Questions with complement clauses: forming questions that contain embedded clauses, adding depth to your inquiries [0:54].
Why is mastering conditionals important at the B2 level?
Conditionals allow speakers to move beyond stating facts and into the realm of possibility, imagination, and speculation. At the B2 level, understanding how to construct hypothetical scenarios and describe their potential results is what separates a competent speaker from a truly fluent one. These structures appear constantly in professional emails, academic writing, and everyday conversation.
