IL LETTORATO DEL PRIMO e SECONDO ANNO: agosto 2021

Here are some useful sites where you can check and practise grammar structures:

http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar
(from here you can also access reading and other resources)
There is also:
http://vivquarry.com/wkshts/
e.g. http://vivquarry.com/wkshts/linkwd2.html
and
http://esl.about.com/od/writingadvanced/a/wc_addition.htm
but for me the best sites are:
Exam English ✓Free Practice Tests for learners of English

http://examenglish.com/cambridge_esol.php
for lots of free practice material at different levels (more later about this)

e.g. https://www.examenglish.com/grammar/index.html

and BBC Learning English
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish new address
and http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/general/

old address, not updated but still active.
you should explore the site. For example, 6-minute English:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/general/sixminute/

is for listening practice and dictation

http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/intermediate

is for grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation at intermediate level

http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/upper-intermediate

is for the same at upper-intermediate level

but you can also explore the old site for these elements

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/

Other sites where you can practise English
