Intermediate English (B1): free exercises
B1 is the level of real independence: clear texts on work, study and everyday life, the present perfect, conditionals, modals and the common phrasal verbs. These exercises practise all of it with instant marking and an explanation for every item.
What B1 means
At B1 you can cope on your own: you follow the gist of clear talk and writing about work, study and free time, manage most trips abroad, and tell a story or explain a plan in simple linked sentences. Texts are longer and more varied, and some idiomatic language appears.
What to work on at B1
- Learn phrasal verbs in context, never as bare lists — the exercises show them in real sentences.
- For conditionals, identify the time and the reality (real/unreal) before choosing the form.
- In reading tasks, find the sentence that answers the question before you look at the options.
- Keep a page of linking words (however, although, in order to) and use them in your own writing.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What does B1 mean?
B1 is the third CEFR level, often called intermediate: independent use of English in familiar situations.
Is B1 enough for work?
For routine work communication in many roles, yes; most professional settings ask for B2.
How do I move to B2?
When B1 exercises are consistently right, move to B2, where collocation and precision start to matter.
