Grammar for bachillerato

Hi everyone, welcome back to this unusual school year!

We hope you are all well and healthy. Last year we created this site to post some resources that may help you with your English during the lockdown. Hopefully, this year you will enjoy spending some time here and will have fun doing some of the suggested activities or reading some of the cartoons :-)

We will be posting regularly and we will still keep in touch in our face-to-face lessons and via Classroom.

Take care and stay safe :-)
