Elementary English (A2): free exercises
A2 English covers daily routines, travel, shopping, hobbies and work in short, clear texts. These exercises train the past simple, going to, comparatives and the everyday linking words, with an explanation after every answer.
What A2 means
At A2 you can get through the routine parts of life in English — shopping, asking the way, talking about your family and your job — and read short, practical texts about everyday things. Texts are short and concrete, and the vocabulary is the most common words of the language.
What to work on at A2
- Master the past simple of the fifty most common verbs — it unlocks most A2 texts.
- Notice how sentences join: and, but, because, so — these carry the meaning at A2.
- In gap-fill tasks, decide the part of speech first (verb, noun, preposition), then the word.
- Read the explanations even when you were right — they name the rule you used by instinct.
Practise it the smart way
Each exercise below is marked instantly and every answer carries a short explanation, so a wrong attempt becomes a mini-lesson. Mix the question types: each one trains a different skill at this level.
