Hello! I recently wrote a post with an example of a kids’ book that uses first conditional. That book is The Runaway Bunny, and you can read the post (including a video of a person reading the book) here.

Hi! Recently I’ve been trying to share lots of English songs with activities, and today I want to give you an activity to help learn and practice the second conditional in English.

Earth, Wind & Fire is a musical group that was most popular in the...

Hello! I’ve been pretty busy with life in general so I’ve not had much time to write lately. But I wanted to share a few resources with both English learners and English teachers out there. Sadly, about a week ago, the musical legend Aretha Franklin died. I really liked her music, but I have to admit that I had trouble understanding some of the lyrics...
