About this course: Being able to adeptly use adjective clauses in speaking and writing is useful for upper level English learners. Adjectives and adjective clauses are very common in English, so students need to be able to understand them when they see them or hear them. Students often struggle to bring complexity to their speaking and writing and adjective clauses can be a great way to do this. Please note that all of the lectures and practice activities are available for free, but taking the quizzes and getting feedback on assignments are only available in the paid version
Who is this class for: This course is great for English language learners who have studied some English grammar but want to improve it.

Ratings and Reviews
Excellent course
Great course for clearing concept.
This one is very good. I give it 4 stars (not 5) only because there is no forum. No place to ask questions :(
