Welcome to English Lessons Brighton
My name is Phil Williams, and I created this site in 2012 to share material to help students everywhere master the English language. It has since become so popular that it encouraged me to write a set of English grammar guides along with skills and exercise books, many of which went on to become bestsellers!
On this site, you’ll find almost 300 free articles to help master English, with more material added every month.
You can join our free mailing list to be the first to learn of new content, and if you like what you read please consider supporting ELB to help us produce more and better content.
We celebrated 10 years of English Lessons Brighton in 2023!
