It started with four Past simple lessons on a single June morning.
Twenty days and seven batches later, the English A2 curriculum is complete — all 28 lessons are live, free, and waiting for you.
🎓 What A2 Gives You
A2 is the level where English starts to feel usable. By the time you've worked through these lessons you can:
- talk about the past — what happened, what you were doing, and what you've experienced in your life
- talk about the future — plans, predictions, and fixed arrangements
- compare things and say which is the best
- express obligation, advice, and ability — what you must do, should do, and are able to do
- describe amounts precisely — some, any, a few, a little, too much, enough
- build more precise sentences — with the right article, a relative clause that adds a detail, and a clear path described by a preposition of movement
📚 All 28 Lessons
🕰️ The Past Simple
The first four lessons in the curriculum — how English talks about yesterday, last week, and everything that already happened.
- Past simple: was / were — the past of be, the verb that behaves differently from all the others
- Past simple: regular verbs — just add -ed (with spelling and pronunciation tips)
- Past simple: irregular verbs — go → went, see → saw, and the patterns that make them easier to learn
- Past simple: questions & negatives — how did and didn't take over, and why the main verb goes back to its base form
⚖️ Comparing and Counting
Two closely related themes: picking the winner in a comparison, and knowing when you can count something.
- Comparative adjectives — bigger, more interesting, than
- Superlative adjectives — the biggest, the most interesting, one of the best
- Countable & uncountable nouns — two books vs some water, and the tricky ones (information, furniture, news)
- Some, any, much, many, a lot of — choosing the right quantity word for positive sentences, negatives, and questions
👥 Pronouns, Small Amounts, and Plans
The small words that stand in for nouns — and how to say some, a few, and a little with precision.
- Possessive pronouns — mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs (without repeating the noun)
- Reflexive pronouns — myself, yourself, himself… and the by myself = alone pattern
- Quantifiers: few, a few, little, a little — how one small word shifts the feeling from "not enough" to "some"
- Be going to — plans you've already decided and predictions you can see coming
🔮 More Futures, How, and What You Love
Two more ways into the future, plus the everyday building blocks that say how and what you enjoy.
- Will (predictions & instant decisions) — I'll get it, It'll rain, and the contrast with be going to
- Present continuous for future arrangements — I'm meeting Sam at six (same form, different time)
- Adverbs of manner — quickly, carefully, well — and why she sings good is always wrong
- Verbs + -ing — I enjoy reading, She hates waiting, They love cooking
📋 Obligation, Advice, and Ability
What you have to do, what you should do, what you're able to do — and how to explain why you do any of it.
- Have to / must (obligation) — rules and necessity, and the don't have to vs mustn't difference that catches everyone
- Should (advice) — You should rest, Should I call her?, I don't think you should worry
- Be able to (ability) — ability in the future and after other verbs: I'll be able to help, I want to be able to swim
- Infinitive of purpose (to + verb) — I went out to buy milk — and why for before a verb is always wrong
🎬 What You Were Doing and What You've Done
The present perfect in both its A2 uses, plus the past continuous for background scenes — and the modals for asking politely.
- Past continuous — I was cooking when the phone rang — background action meets interrupting event
- Present perfect: ever / never — Have you ever been to Japan? She's never flown in a plane
- Present perfect: for & since — I've lived here for five years, She's known him since 2019
- Requests & permission (can, could, may) — Can you help? Could I borrow your pen? May I come in?
🎯 Articles, Movement, and Precision
The finishing touches that take you from correct to fluent — the right word in front of a noun, movement through space, a detail added in one clause, and knowing when something is too much or just right.
- Articles: a / an, the, zero article — a dog, the sun, Dogs are loyal — when to use each and when to use none
- Prepositions of movement — into, out of, through, across, past, along, towards…
- Basic relative clauses (who, which, that) — the teacher who helped me, the film that we watched
- Too / enough — too cold to go out, warm enough to swim — and why very and too are not the same
