The English Grammar Profile Pro allows learners develop competence in English grammatical form and meaning.

If you use some well-known dictionaries such as Cambridge dictionary, you may notice symbols A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.

These symbols show the English Profile levels. There are 6 levels.
A1: beginner
A2: Elementary
B1: Intermediate,
B2: Upper-Intermediate
C1: Advanced
C2: Proficiency

Like vocabulary, grammatical forms often have more than one meaning. For example, the modal verb may can be used with various meanings at different levels.

Elementary: Weak possibility: "The weather may be hot."

Intermediate: Formal permission: "May I borrow your bike?"

Advanced: May well: "You may well find that this is not the case."

Proficiency: May as well: "We may as well go home."

English Grammar Profile divides these meanings into 6 levels, and tells us at which level we see learners of English using them correctly and appropriately.

If you are a teacher, English grammar profile will tell you which grammatical forms, structures your students should use frequently at different levels.

If you are preparing for standardized tests such as SAT, IELTS, TOEFL, CPE, CAE, FCE, GRE etc. this app will help you to improve your writing skills. In order to get high score, you should use grammar forms and structures in advanced and proficiency level as much as possible.
