B1 — Systems

Time to zoom out. Instead of learning grammar rules one by one, this level shows you how the pieces fit together. The 12-tense system as a grid. Relative clauses as a tool. Passive voice as a choice.

The Tense System 📊

All 12 English tenses in one visual grid. It’s really just 3 times × 4 aspects. Less scary than it sounds.

Relative Clauses

“The man who…” “The book that…” — the sentences-inside-sentences that Mandarin speakers tend to avoid.

Passive Voice

“It was built.” When to use it, when not to, and why “was happened” is always wrong.

Conditionals (Zero + First)

“If you heat ice, it melts.” “If it rains, I’ll stay home.” The logic gates of English.

Subject-Verb Agreement

He like → He likes. Simple rule, surprisingly hard to make automatic.
