A2 Elementary Learning Path

Past Simple (To Be: was / were)

Learn was and were — the past simple forms of 'to be' — to describe past states, identities, locations, and conditions.

Basic Suffixes and Word Forms

Common suffixes that change word class: -er, -tion, -ly, -ful, -less — and the words they create.

Past Simple

The Past Simple tense describes completed actions at a definite past time. Learn regular and irregular forms, negatives, questions, and key signal words.

Subordinating Conjunctions (because, so, when, before, after)

Conjunctions that introduce dependent clauses: because, although, when, while, before, after, until, unless.

Possessive Pronouns

Mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs — pronouns that show ownership without a following noun.

Present Continuous

The Present Continuous describes actions in progress now, temporary situations, changing trends, and future plans. Learn the -ing form rules and stative verbs.

Prepositions of Movement and Direction

To, into, through, across, along, towards, past — prepositions that describe movement.

Future with Going To

Use 'going to' for pre-planned intentions and predictions based on visible evidence. Contrasts with 'will' for spontaneous decisions.

Extended Question Formation (How, Whose, Which)

Forming questions with how (many/much/often/long), whose, and which to ask for specific details.

Comparative Adjectives

Comparing two things using -er or more: taller, more expensive, better.

Reflexive Pronouns

Myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves — used when subject and object are the same.

Superlative Adjectives

Identifying the extreme in a group using -est or most: the tallest, the most expensive, the best.

Present Perfect (Introduction)

An introduction to the Present Perfect: form, the concepts of 'ever/never', 'already/yet', and how it connects past events to the present.

Can / Can't

Can and can't are essential modal verbs at A2 level used to express ability, permission, and general possibility. Learn their structure, key uses, and common mistakes.

Order of Adjectives

The correct sequence when stacking multiple adjectives: opinion → size → age → shape → colour → origin → material.

Adverbs of Manner

Adverbs that describe how something is done: quickly, carefully, well, hard.

Must / Mustn't

Must and mustn't express strong obligation and prohibition at A2 level. Learn when something is required by rules or personal necessity, and when it is strictly forbidden.

Adverbs of Degree

Very, quite, fairly, rather, extremely — adverbs that modify adjectives and other adverbs to indicate intensity.

Should / Shouldn't

Should and shouldn't are key A2 modal verbs for giving and asking advice, expressing moral duty, and stating expectations. Gentler than must, they are essential for everyday communication.

Irregular Plurals

Nouns that form their plural in unpredictable ways: man→men, child→children, mouse→mice, and more.

Uncountable Nouns

Nouns that cannot be counted directly (water, information, advice) and the grammar rules that govern them.

Possessive Nouns ('s and s')

Using 's and s' to show ownership and relationship between nouns.

Quantifiers: some / any

Using some (affirmative/offers) and any (questions/negatives) with countable and uncountable nouns.

Quantifiers: much / many / a lot of

Distinguishing much (uncountable), many (countable), and a lot of (both) to express large quantities.

Quantifiers: a few / a little

Using a few (some countable nouns) and a little (some uncountable nouns) for small positive quantities.
