B1 English Worksheets and Lessons (Intermediate)

B1, known as intermediate or threshold, is the level at which learners become independent users of English. They can deal with most situations likely to arise while traveling, produce simple connected text on familiar topics, and describe experiences, events, hopes and ambitions, giving brief reasons and explanations.

Typical B1 grammar includes narrative tenses (past simple, past continuous and past perfect), present perfect simple and continuous, first and second conditionals, used to, the passive, reported speech, relative clauses, and modals for obligation, advice and possibility. Vocabulary extends to feelings, education, work, the media, the environment and technology, plus common phrasal verbs and collocations. The matching exam is Cambridge B1 Preliminary (and B1 Preliminary for Schools).
