I've had an idea for a while that it would be nice to be able to illustrate grammar in use with quotes from songs, so this is my attempt at starting it! What follows is a list of the grammar topics which are covered in the GCE AS and A2 syllabus, together with links to revision notes on the topics and songs where example sentences can be found. Please understand that any articles by me about grammar are aimed at helping with revision rather than teaching the ideas from scratch, and cannot replace a good teacher and a reference or textbook! I will give references to chapters in teaching materials, and accompanying exercises, wherever possible.
