B1 English grammar for teachers
B1 students can cope with most everyday situations and are ready to express opinions, hypotheses and experiences. Grammar shifts from single forms to contrasts: present perfect versus past simple, real versus unreal conditionals.
What B1 students can do
- Talk about experiences and unfinished situations
- Discuss real and imaginary possibilities
- Describe processes and give reasons
- Connect ideas with relative clauses
Teaching priorities
- Contrast pairs of tenses in the same lesson.
- Use personal experience as the anchor for practice.
- Keep exercises short but frequent to build accuracy.
