BusinessEnglishSite Business English Grammar Exercises
BusinessEnglishSite Business English Grammar Exercises collects thirty-eight multiple-choice practice sets on the grammar that professionals use most, with ten sets devoted to mixed verb tenses and the others to phrasal verbs, articles and prepositions. Published by BusinessEnglishSite.com, the page states how each area maps onto the TOEIC and Cambridge BEC exams and closes with five study tips for learning grammar through workplace phrases.
100% Free (unlimited): all thirty-eight practice sets open and score themselves in the browser, with no account, no registration and no payment, and a learner may repeat any of them as often as desired. The study tips and the exam notes on the same page are open in the same way. The site separately offers a paid conversation course and a collection of printable worksheets.
How It Helps Your Business English
The page opens with a note on how the grammar practised here matches the Incomplete Sentences task of the TOEIC and the accuracy that the Cambridge BEC papers reward at the Vantage and Higher levels. Four groups of links follow: ten sets of mixed verb tenses, eight on phrasal verbs, ten on articles and ten on prepositions. Each set is a run of multiple-choice sentences set in an office context, such as a late colleague, a proposed merger or a call from a distributor, where the learner picks the correct form from three options and the page marks the answers. A closing section gives five study tips, including a list of fixed workplace phrases to learn whole and the errors that most often cause misunderstanding at work.
You can work through the ten mixed-tense sets in order and see at once which choices you get wrong, since each set marks itself as soon as you finish. Because every sentence is set at work, the practice doubles as exposure to the situations the tenses actually appear in, from reporting a delay to agreeing to a proposal. If you are preparing for the TOEIC or a Cambridge BEC paper, the opening note tells you which sets match which part of the exam, and the fixed phrases in the study tips give you wording you can carry straight into your own updates and emails.
