What you need to know first about grammar is that, for most students, it improbable that they will get a 7.

In order to get a 7 or higher for grammar, you need to have a lot of perfect sentences. They don’t all have to be perfect, but most of them do in order for the examiner to give you a 7 for grammar.

Improving your grammar to that level takes years, and, frankly, you probably don’t have years to prepare for the IELTS exam.

That’s why you should focus your time on improving the other three categories. Watch our videos on Task Achievement, Cohesion and Coherence, and Vocabulary.

Having said that, there are certain things you can do to make sure you at least get a 6 for grammar in Writing Task 1.

You need to use varied sentence structures. So, the most useful structures are the comparison structures using linking words and phrases such as while...simultaneously, for example.

You also need to practice proofreading your work for simple mistakes that the examiner doesn’t want so see, like verb tense errors, for instance.

In Change Over Time and most Static essays, you have to use past simple. If there is no time given, use present simple.\n
