90 printable English grammar worksheets, free for teachers

Free ESL worksheets in PDF, with answer keys — print, photocopy and hand out, no sign-up

Written and reviewed by Vugar Novruzov, Academy Director · How we write our lessons

Every grammar topic on this site has a printable worksheet behind it — a PDF you can open, print and photocopy for a class this afternoon, with an answer key on the last page. There are ninety of them, they cover CEFR A1 to B2, and they are free: no sign-up, no email address, no account, no watermark asking you to upgrade.

They are drawn from the same exercise banks the interactive pages use, so a worksheet and its online version drill exactly the same grammar. The printable is the shorter half by design — twenty-three questions, the size of one lesson — while the page it comes from holds sixty and marks them as the student answers. Hand out the sheet in class, set the page for homework.

What is in every worksheet

The three pages of a printable worksheet: two pages of questions and a final page of answers with the reason for each one.
Every sheet is the same shape: two pages of questions with room to write, then the answer key. The preview is drawn from a real file — the A1 present simple worksheet — not mocked up.

English grammar worksheets by CEFR level

A1: 27 worksheets, A2: 31 worksheets, B1: 18 worksheets, B2: 14 worksheets.
The library is widest where most classes are: A2 is the biggest group, because elementary is where the past tenses arrive and where most adult courses spend a term.

Ninety topics in teaching order, the order a syllabus meets them in rather than alphabetically. Each one gives you the printable and the interactive version of the same grammar: 10 multiple-choice, 8 gap-fill and 5 sentence-building questions on paper, 60 marked instantly online.

A1 worksheets — beginner grammar exercises (PDF) 27 topics · 621 questions

Beginner sheets, and the only ones a class can attempt in their first weeks. They cover the ground everything else assumes: to be, a and an, plurals, this and that, can and can’t, and the third-person -s that swallows more beginner attention than any other single ending. Useful as diagnostics too — a class that cannot do the present simple sheet is not ready for A2, whatever their placement said.

A2 worksheets — elementary grammar exercises (PDF) 31 topics · 713 questions

Elementary sheets, built around the arrival of the past. Regular and irregular past simple, the past continuous beside it, the first present perfect, comparatives and superlatives, and the quantifiers a class starts needing as soon as it talks about anything real. This is the biggest group in the library and the one most adult evening classes spend a term inside.

B1 worksheets — intermediate grammar exercises (PDF) 18 topics · 414 questions

Intermediate sheets, where accuracy stops being about forms and becomes about choice: reported speech, the zero, first and second conditionals, the passive, gerunds against infinitives, relative clauses. Students at this level can usually say the thing; these sheets are about saying it the way an English speaker would have.

B2 worksheets — upper-intermediate grammar exercises (PDF) 14 topics · 322 questions

Upper-intermediate sheets for a class that already communicates and now has to be precise. Inversion after negative adverbs, wishes and regrets, modals of deduction, the causative, advanced conditionals. Several of these make good exam-preparation homework — the question types are the ones B2 exams reuse.

Every worksheet A–Z

The same 90 sheets by topic name, for when you know the grammar point and not the level it sits at. Each link downloads the PDF.

Can I copy these for my class?

Yes — and here is the whole of it in plain words, so nobody has to read a licence to find out. This says the same thing as our Terms of Service, in fewer words.

Yes, freely

  • Print it, photocopy it and hand it out to your own classes, as many times as you like.
  • Project it in a lesson, or put it on a classroom screen.
  • Share the link — with a class, a colleague, a school intranet or a Google Classroom.
  • Keep using it. Nothing here expires, and no version of this library has ever been behind a login.

No, please

  • Re-host the PDF file on another website, or upload it to a document-sharing site. Link to it instead: a link keeps your learners on a file we can correct, and a copy goes stale the day we fix an answer key.
  • Sell it, or bundle it into a paid course, workbook or resource pack.
  • Remove the footer, the logo or the source URL and present the sheet as your own material.

You do not need to add a credit line of your own: the sheet already carries ours in its footer, and leaving that in place is all the attribution the terms ask for. If you want to point people at us, link to the page the worksheet came from — that is how the other eighty-nine get found. Anything not listed above is covered by the Terms of Service, and if your situation is not obviously in one of these two columns, ask us and we will answer.

How to run a class on this site

  1. Place the class first, then pick the level

    The free level test takes five to seven minutes, needs no account, and returns a CEFR band rather than a percentage. Run it in the first lesson and you will know which of the four groups of worksheets below to print from.

  2. Teach from the lesson, practise on the board

    Each worksheet has a written lesson behind it — rules, examples, common mistakes, an FAQ — and an interactive exercise page. The exercise page works well projected: the class calls out answers and the explanation appears under each one.

  3. Hand out the PDF, set the page as homework

    The sheet is the classroom half and the page is the homework half: same topic, different questions, and the online version marks itself so you are not carrying thirty scripts home.

    Mixed grammar exercises by level →
  4. Use the readers and the word game for the rest of the hour

    Eighty graded stories with audio for reading tasks, and a daily vocabulary game that works as a five-minute warm-up or an end-of-lesson filler.

    Graded stories, A1–B2 →

What you will not find here

Said plainly, so you can plan around it rather than searching the site for something that does not exist.

Teacher FAQ

Are the worksheets really free?

Yes — all ninety, in full, with the answer keys. There is no sign-up, no email capture and no account. The website is funded by advertising; the PDF files carry none.

Can I photocopy the worksheets for my class?

Yes — printing and photocopying for your own classes is exactly what they are for, and you can do it as often as you like. What is not allowed is re-hosting the file on another site or selling it. The full terms are on our Terms of Service page, and nothing on this page grants more than they do; if your situation is not covered there, ask us.

Do the PDF worksheets come with answers?

Every one. The last page is an answer key, and each answer is given with the reason it is right rather than just the letter — which is what makes the sheets usable for self-study and for marking by someone who is not a grammar specialist.

What CEFR level are they, and how do I know which to print?

They run from A1 to B2 and each sheet says its level on the front. If you are not sure where a class sits, the free level test places them in five to seven minutes without an account.

Can I use them in Google Classroom or an online lesson?

Yes. Share the link rather than uploading a copy: the link always serves the current version, so if we correct an answer key your students get the correction.

Do you have English worksheets for children?

No, and we would rather say so than pretend. Everything here is written for teenagers and adults — the example sentences assume an adult life, and we have deliberately not built primary-school or grade-level material.

Can I download all ninety worksheets at once?

There is no bundle. One PDF per grammar topic is the unit a teacher actually uses, and a single 90-topic file would be something nobody prints and nobody links to.
