Free ESL Worksheets for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Students

Teacher Experience Looking for Online Help
If you're an ESL teacher, especially a beginning teacher, you probably don't get paid for all the time you put into preparing your lessons. You want to find free ESL grammar worksheets as quickly as possible; preferably ones that are easy to download without having to save to Microsoft Word, adjust the formatting, and so on.
My experiences when looking online for ESL worksheets, exercises and
ESL cloze exercises
have been a little frustrating, or at least time-consuming. When searching for free ESL worksheets for beginners, intermediate and advanced students, I've been required to become a member of the site, or the exercises I've found are online interactive exercises—not very useful as ESL or EFL handouts!
Check for Errors in Online Printouts
Another problem I've had with some of the free ESL worksheets for beginners that I've found online is that there are some errors in the worksheets! Unfortunately, I've often learned about this only after one of my ESL students has come back to me and said that the instructions didn't make sense, or some of the questions were confusing.
Now, I always try to find the time to review my ESL exercises before I give them to my students. (I know that's so basic, but sometimes a teacher is just rushed!)
Original ESL/EFL Handouts
As a private ESL tutor, I'm always looking for good and free ESL materials. I have a small library of free ESL English grammar exercises that I've either developed myself or downloaded from other websites.
I'm going to add all of the free ESL worksheets for beginners, intermediate and advanced ESL students that I've developed. I've gotten some inspiration from other ESL websites, but the downloads I have here are original and should supplement materials you find on other ESL websites or in English grammar books.
Hopefully, this will be useful to other ESL teachers. Take a look at my Present Tense Verb Worksheets page for ideas on using worksheets as an ESL teaching tool.
Just click on any link and it should open a free ESL exercise in another window. No membership required, but you do have to be able to download a pdf file. Print it out and you're ready to go! Please let me know if you find any errors.
Here are some great sites with ESL printable handouts. You don't have to sign up with them and they have tons of free worksheets for all levels of ESL, EFL, TESOL, etc. But be sure to check if your printout is suitable for American English learners or British English learners.
