AQA GCSE English Language revision

AQA GCSE English Language revision for Year 10 and Year 11, following the AQA GCSE English Language (8700) specification point by point. AQA GCSE English Language (8700) covers Paper 1: Explorations in Creative Reading and Writing, Paper 2: Writers' Viewpoints and Perspectives, Spoken Language endorsement (non-exam, reported separately — does not affect the 9-1 grade). Work through a topic in short interactive activities, then take a real past paper to see what stuck.

One thing the English Language questions here are written to catch: "Went" is vaguer than "walked", not more ambitious. Reach for a precise verb like "trudged".
