Lessons Shared / Overlapping with B1

These topics appear on both lists. At the B1+ level, they either review, expand upon, or re-examine core concepts introduced in B1:

Shared Topic Area	B1 Version	B1+ Version
Present Perfect	Past simple or present perfect? / Present perfect simple and present perfect continuous	Present perfect simple or continuous
Conditionals	First, second, and third conditionals (separate/combined lessons)	Zero and first conditional / Second and third conditionals
Used to / Habits	Usually, used to, be used to, get used to	Used to, be used to, get used to
Gerund & Infinitive	Gerund or infinitive: Do, to do, doing	Gerund or infinitive: Verb patterns
Passive Voice	Passive verb forms / Active and passive voice	The passive voice: All tenses
Preference	Would rather & Would sooner	Would rather, would prefer: Expressing preference
Quantifiers & Expressions	All, both, either, neither, any, no, none / So, such, so much, so many	Quantifiers: All, most, both, either, neither, any, no, none / So, such (a), so much, so many
Adjectives & Time Words	-Ed/-ing adjectives / For, since, from / Clauses of contrast, purpose and reason	Participles as adjectives: -ed/-ing / Already, still, yet: What’s the difference? / Clauses of contrast and purpose

Shared Lessons That Add New Information at B1+

These B1+ lessons introduce new structural rules, finer semantic distinctions, or additional target structures not taught in B1:

Gerund or Infinitive:
- B1 (Do, to do, doing): covers basic patterns like verb + gerund (enjoy swimming) vs. verb + infinitive (want to go).
- B1+ (Verb patterns): adds complex structures such as verb + object + infinitive (advise him to go), prepositions + gerunds, and verbs where the meaning changes depending on the choice (remember doing vs. remember to do).
Passive Voice:
- B1 (Passive verb forms / Active & passive): focuses on present simple, past simple, and basic continuous passive forms.
- B1+ (The passive voice: All tenses): extends passive structures to perfect tenses (has been written), future tenses (will be delivered), modal verbs (should be done), and continuous forms across all tenses.
Conditionals:
- B1 (First, Second, Third conditionals): teaches each conditional structure independently using standard forms (if + present, will; if + past, would).
- B1+ (Zero & First / Second & Third unreal conditionals): combines zero conditional with future time clauses using time expressions like as soon as, in case, unless, until, and introduces mixed variations and nuance distinctions (if vs. in case).
Expressing Preference:
- B1 (Would rather & Would sooner): focuses strictly on would rather / would sooner + base verb and would rather + subject + past simple (I’d rather you left).
- B1+ (Would rather, would prefer): formally introduces and contrasts would prefer + to-infinitive with would rather, detailed comparative patterns (would prefer to X rather than Y), and formal vs. informal usage.
Quantifiers:
- B1 (All, both / Both, either, neither / Any, no, none): splits quantifiers across separate lessons, introducing their baseline meanings and pronoun usage.
- B1+ (All, most, both, either, neither, any, no, none): unifies all of them in a single comprehensive lesson, adding most, and focusing heavily on subject-verb agreement (neither of them is/are) and formal determiners (quantifier + of + the/my).
Present Perfect:
- B1 (Past simple vs. present perfect / Present perfect simple & continuous): establishes when to use present perfect instead of past simple, and introduces basic continuous duration (for/since).
- B1+ (Present perfect simple or continuous): shifts focus to contrast actions with visible present results vs. completed actions, emphasizing state verbs, duration vs. quantity (how long vs. how much), and temporary vs. permanent situations.

Shared Lessons with Near-Identical Core Rules (Reinforcement)

These B1+ lessons cover the same fundamental concepts introduced in B1, but use different practice exercises, expanded examples, and a broader vocabulary context:

Used to / Habitual Forms (Used to, be used to, get used to):
- B1: introduces the three forms (past habit, familiarity state, process of adjusting).
- B1+: keeps the core rules identical, but tests them together in mixed exercises to reinforce contrast in more complex contexts.
Adjectives in -ed/-ing:
- B1: teaches the difference between cause (boring) and feeling (bored).
- B1+ (Participles as adjectives): maintains the same rule, using a wider, upper-intermediate vocabulary range.
Clauses of Contrast and Purpose:
- B1 (Clauses of contrast, purpose and reason): introduces although, despite, in order to, so that.
- B1+: covers the exact same structures (despite / in spite of + -ing/noun, so that + clause), serving primarily as a consolidative review with longer sentence structures.
So, such (a), so much, so many:
- B1: establishes so + adjective vs. such + a + adjective + noun vs. so much/many + noun.
- B1+: uses identical grammar rules, applied within more advanced reading and gap-fill scenarios.
