What grammar points can I include in my essays to improve my mark?

There are lots of different ways in which you can improve your mark via grammar. Here are 3 short impressive things to include:1) Subjunctives and tenses: Using a variety of tenses, especially the subjunctive, will make your writing appear sophisticated. Occasionally these tenses are hard to remember, but if you keep one or two up your sleeve, then you can slot them into your writing wherever is convenient. For example: Bien qu'il y ait... = even though there are....; il faut que je puisse... = it is necessary that I can....2) Present Participles: Present participles are easy to form and a good way of mixing up the way you start your sentences. Take the 'nous' stem of the verb you want and add the suffix '-ant-'. Precede this word with 'en' and you have the phrase 'by ...-ing'. For example: En essayant = by trying; En allant = by going; Example - en allant au collège tous les jours, j'apprends beaucoup de choses = By going to college every day, I learn a lot of things.3) Sentence structures: If you make longer sentences, you will show the examiner that you are capable of structuring your writing in a sophisticated way. Instead of 'I like going to the theatre', add a reason and how often you do it in the same sentence. For example: J'aime aller au théâtre. Le théâtre, c'est amusant. Je vais au théâtre tous les jours. - Instead of this, try: J'aime aller au théâtre, car c'est très amusant - en allant au théâtre tous les jours, je peux voir beaucoup de spectacles.
