Based on scores from six participants on the Oxford University Press Intermediate Grammar Diagnostic Test, the following grammar points seemed to require more focus:
  1. Questions, negatives, and answers
  2. Modal verbs
  3. The infinitive and -ing form
  4. Pronouns
  5. Adjectives and adverbs
  6. Verbs with prepositions and adverbs
  7. Relative clauses
Hopefully, we can cover most of these points over the next few months!
