                     GRAMMAR 
RULES TO GET
A HIGHER  
IELTS SCORE
IN THIS ARTICLE, I AM GOING TO TELL  
YOU SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT  
GRAMMAR RULES. OF COURSE, THE  
IMPORTANT THING IS TO HAVE A WIDE  
KNOWLEDGE, BUT THESE ARE COMMON  
AREAS OF DIFFICULTY, AND SO 
FOCUSING  ON THEM MAY BE VERY 
HELPFUL.
PRESENT PERFECT
The present perfect is used for 
things that  began in the past and 
continue (or could  continue) in the 
present. If the time period  
described is on-going, then we will 
use the  present perfect tense.
It is really important for 
formal  writing that you are 
able to use the  passive voice. 
Whilst this is not  really 
common in everyday spoken  
English, we do use it for some  
situations and we frequently 
use it  in essays.
THE 
The passive voice is formed 
PASSIVE  with  the verb “to be” and then the verb.  It can be used 
VOICE to hide the person  or thing that did an action or when  
we simply do not know. It 
can  change the focus of a 
sentence to  show that the 
agent of change was  not 
particularly important.
Many people find that articles 
are thheardest part of English 
grammar and  even English 
teachers find them  difficult to 
explain. The fact is that  there 
are many rules to consider and  
often there are exceptions to 
these  rules that seem 
unintuitive.
ARTICLE 
USE
However, this word is confusing 
because  oftentimes it refers to 
something that is  known to the 
reader and writer (or  listener and 
speaker) but is not just a  single 
thing. For example, two friends  
might talk about “the shop” or “the 
gym”  because they both know what 
is meant.
PREPOSITIONS
It is important to learn language in 
groups  of words rather than 
memorising lists.
Part of the reason is that you can 
pick up  language through 
collocations, and these  often 
include prepositions. Whilst no one  
really knows why we say “on the 
train”  but “in the car,” we can 
certainly  remember these with 
ease.
