B2 — Choices

At this level, you already know the rules. The challenge is knowing which correct option sounds the most natural. This is where you go from “grammatically fine” to “wow, that sounded native.”

Mixed Conditionals

“If I had studied harder, I would be fluent now.” Mixing past conditions with present results.

Inversion

“Never have I seen…” “Not only did she arrive late…” — dramatic word order for emphasis.

Advanced Passive

“He is said to be…” “It is believed that…” — the formal passives of academic and news writing.

Wish & Regret

“I wish I had…” “If only I could…” — expressing things that aren’t true (but you want them to be).
