Focus: Grammar in action

To connect your ideas to each other clearly, it's important to use the right linking word or expression. These are also called 'conjunctions'.

Let's start with the linking expressions of 'purpose'.

Step 1:

Watch the video lesson twice, and take some notes the second time.

Step 2:

When you have finished the video lesson, download the Exercise PDF below and do the exercises.

Make sure you write complete sentences.

Step 3:

When you've finished the exercises, download the ZIP file below.

Use the Answer key PDF to check and correct your answers.

Then, use the Audio file to build strong reflexes through two listening activities:

Activity 1: Listen & write (or type) each correct answer.

Activity 2: Listen & repeat each correct answer out loud several times without looking at the text.

Step 4:

When you feel you've fully mastered these linking expressions, take the quiz.

You need to get a minimum score of 80% in each quiz to receive your Certificate of Completion, so repeat the quiz until you score above 80%. You can take each quiz up to 10 times.
