TOEFL Grammar: What You Need to Know

“Do I need to study grammar for the TOEFL?” This is a question we’ve answered before, because students ask it a lot! And the answer is still a resounding “yes!” Even though there is no grammar section on the TOEFL—and you won’t be tested on grammar rules—you still need to study grammar.

So then why do you need to learn grammar for the TOEFL? The TOEFL tests your grammar in usage. Basically, if you have poor grammar, your Writing and Speaking responses will receive low scores. So studying grammar can help you boost your scores on the TOEFL.

The question then becomes: How can I study grammar for the TOEFL? We can help you out there, too!
