One way of improving A-level literature essays is demonstrating a good knowledge of different tenses and moods. The correct use of the subjunctive mood is usually key to showing the examiner your extensive knowledge of grammar as, when done correctly, it shows both that you know how to use the subjunctive (different conjugation) and also when to use it (certain contexts).Another way of improving A-Level literature essays is to use good introduction and conclusion phrases. They must not be too long or complicated but more sophisticated phrases impress the examiner and can make your essay stand out.
