And a quick reminder, when you join the consolidation course, you also automatically join my Black Friday waiting list.

This is my biggest sale of the year with the best discounts I offer.

If you're serious about reaching the B1, B2 or C1 level, this is the sale you've been waiting for.

You'll be the first to know when it goes live.

Right, let's start today's grammar lesson.

We will start with B1, the intermediate level.

"Shadow me" or "Listen, pause and repeat after me".

I've been trying to take the train more often recently.

So, I booked a ticket from London to Inverness.

When the day finally arrived, I boarded at King's Cross.

And as we picked up speed, I watched London disappear behind me.

Okay, what tense can you see in the first clause?

It's the present perfect continuous.

The structure is subject plus have been plus ing verb.

We can use this tense to talk about an action that began in the past and continues up to now.

The focus is on the ongoing, unfinished nature of the action.

In fast speech, we tend to contract 'I have' to I've.

and pronounce 'been' then I've been.

I've been trying.

In your Day 2 consolidation course exercises,

You'll practice the difference between present perfect simple and present perfect continuous with interactive activities.

I've designed these activities to help you really understand when to use each tense, so that you stop second guessing yourself.

Okay, here's the next part of our story.

Shadow or repeat.

If I'd known the route was so beautiful, I'd have booked a window seat.

the journey which took around eight hours, passed surprisingly quickly.

Before I knew it.

I was in Inverness.

Okay, which conditional structure is in the first sentence?

It is the third conditional.

The basic structure is 'if' + 'subject' + 'past perfect',

comma, subject plus would have plus past participle.

The past perfect tense is 'had' plus past participle.

So it's, if I had known, I would have booked.

We use the third conditional to imagine a different past.

often to express regrets in the listening passage i had was contracted to eyed And then there was a double contraction.

'I would have' is contracted to 'I'd have'.

Did you notice that both had and would are contracted to apostrophe D.

When you want to say or write the full form, be careful to use the correct word.

The next structure is a relative clause in this second sentence.

"Which took around eight hours" is a non -defining relative clause.

It gives extra but non -essential information about the journey.

We can remove the clause and the sentence still makes perfect sense.

The clause starts with the relative pronoun 'which' and is separated from the rest of the sentence with commas.

When speaking, I pause slightly before and after saying this clause.

"Shadow me" or "Listen, pause and repeat after me".

If I'd known the route was so beautiful, I'd have booked a window seat.

the journey which took around eight hours, passed surprisingly quickly.

Before I knew it, I was in Inverness.

If you're working towards B1, my beautiful British English B1 programme teaches grammar differently.

You'll build solid foundations through 31 expertly designed grammar lessons with hundreds of interactive exercises that give you instant feedback.

follow Grace's story as she moves to Australia, and watch how present perfect continuous, conditionals, modal verbs, reported speech,

and relative clauses actually work in real conversations.

No isolated rules to memorise.

You learn these structures naturally as Grace navigates her new job, makes friends and explores her new home.

The grammar clicks because you're living it through her experiences.

By the end, these structures feel effortless, not forced.

And with Black Friday coming up, you'll soon get the chance to join this transformative 12 -week course for a fraction of the price with huge bonuses.

You won't believe it.

Okay, let's move on to B2, the upper intermediate level of English.

Shadow me now if you can.

But the adventure was far from over.

All I could think was: "By the time I reach my cottage,

'I'll have been travelling for more than 13 hours.' I picked up my rental car and I was off.

Okay, we have a beautiful B2 level structure to focus on here.

The future perfect continuous.

The basic structure is 'subject' plus 'will have been' plus 'ing verb'.

I will have been travelling.

We use this tense to talk about an action in progress that will continue to a specific point in the future.

The continuous tense emphasises the duration.

Thirteen hours is a long time.

And did you notice another double contraction?

I will have became I love two syllables with a schwa in the second.

I love.

And again, in fast speech we usually say: bin.

I'll have been rather than been.

In your day two consolidation course, You'll work through exercises comparing the future perfect simple and future perfect continuous.

These can be tricky tenses, but the interactive format makes them so much clearer.

You'll get instant feedback on every answer.

Shadow me again now and give that double contraction a go.

But the adventure was far from over.

all I could think was: "By the time I reach my cottage,

'I'll have been travelling for more than 13 hours.' "I picked up my rental car." And I was off.

100

Okay, here's the next part of our story at B2 level.

101

I'm so used to endless traffic jams in London that I couldn't believe how quickly I got out into the country.

102

And "The further I drove, the more beautiful it got.

103

Okay, first, a structure that confuses even my advanced students.

104

To be used to.

105

If you are used to something, it is normal for you.

106

"Be used to" is followed by a noun or a gerund.

107

I'm used to traffic jams.

108

or I'm used to sitting in traffic.

109

The next sentence contained an interesting comparative structure.

110

we can see the plus comparative comma the plus comparative further and more beautiful are the comparatives.

111

This structure shows a cause and effect.

112

One thing happens, I drive further, and something changes in response.

113

It gets more beautiful.

114

The two clauses are separated by a comma, so when speaking, we pause slightly between them.

115

Shadow me again now.

116

I'm so used to endless traffic jams in London that I couldn't believe how quickly I got out into the country.

117

And, "The further I drove, the more beautiful it got.

118

130

Shadow me if you can.

131

'What struck me as I drove along was how changeable the weather is there.' One moment it was really dull.

132

And the next, it was bright sunshine.

133

The drive wound past glens and locks, On and on.

134

Okay, there's a lovely structure at the start of that passage, a cleft sentence.

135

It starts with 'what' followed by a clause.

136

Then we have the linking verb 'to be', 'was'.

137

and another clause.

138

We tend to use cleft structures for emphasis, and in this case, the focus is on the information in the second half of the sentence,

139

which is often new or interesting.

140

In your Day 2 consolidation course materials, we dive deeper into cleft structures with clear examples and practice exercises.

141

This is advanced grammar that makes you sound sophisticated and natural.

142

The exercises help you better understand these structures so they become instinctive.

143

Shout in me again now.

144

'What struck me as I drove along was how changeable the weather is there.' One moment it was really dull.

145

And the next, it was bright sunshine.

146

The drive wound past glens and locks, On and on.

147

We'll listen to the final part of our story now.

148

Just as I was on the verge of giving up ever finding it,

149

"The cottage came into view." Little did I realise how far it was from civilisation.

150

And, of course, I'd forgotten to buy any food.

151

I wolfed down a bag of crisps and tumbled into bed.

152

Okay, first, let's look at to be on the verge of.

153

This means to be very close to experiencing or doing something.

154

We often say someone is on the verge of tears, meaning about to cry.

155

At C1 level, you move beyond simply using tenses to discuss time and add in other advanced structures.

156

Next, we have a super advanced grammar point.

157

In the phrase 'little did I realize', What do you notice about the word order?

158

Well, the subject -verb order of an affirmative sentence is inverted like in a question.

159

When we use negative or limiting adverbs like little at the beginning of a sentence, we invert the word order.

160

Inversion is used for emphasis.

161

When there's no auxiliary verb, we use do or did, like in our example.

162

Another sentence like this: Never had I eaten anything so delicious.

163

Shadow me again now, just as I was on the verge of giving up ever finding it.

164

"The cottage came into view." Little did I realise how far it was from civilisation.

165

And, of course, I'd forgotten to buy any food.

166

I wolfed down a bag of crisps.

167

and tumbled into bed.

168

At the C1 level, grammar becomes an art form.

169

My beautiful British English C1 programme delivers 24 precisely designed advanced grammar lessons that explore topics like paraphrasing,

170

compound adjectives, negative inversions, subjunctive mood and lots more.

171

172

Follow Lottie through 12 weeks as she builds a new life in a British village, and you'll discover why fluent speakers choose specific structures in debates,

173

emails, presentations and casual conversations.

174

with extensive exercises, downloadable grammar guides, and opportunities for teacher feedback, you don't just learn how advanced structures are formed,

175

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
