The choice for English Grammar apps for iPhone and iPad are numerous. Here are some you will really enjoy.
English Grammar in Use Tests by Cambridge University Press
Price: $4.99
The blue book of English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy is one of the books used worldwide by ESL (English as a Second Language) students. I learnt from this book too years ago. Now,ย there are some apps based on this book. This app is one of them.
The questions are well presented in a gaming mode. It has more than 1,700 questions covering 16 grammar areas. Thereโs a direct feedback when your answerย is wrong, but you have to look up in the book for explanations of the grammar.
This app is more suitable for beginner to intermediate English learners.
If youโre looking for easier questions,ย Essential Grammar in Use Tests is the one built for elementary learners. It has more than 500 questions, covering 21 grammar areas.
While Advanced Grammar in Use Tests has more difficult questions for advanced learners, with also more than 500 questions across 14 grammarย areas. Both are by the same developer, with a price of $4.99 each.
Another app by the English Grammar in Use book is English Grammar in Use Activities, price: $9.99. This app has 306 activities, withย over 2800 questions across 16 grammar areas. If it seems like a whole lot, donโt worry. Theyโre divided into 145 units, and the app provides bar charts andย other models to keep you tracking your statistics.
Price: $4.99
This app provides over 1800 questions with 20 grammar categories. Itโs build for learners taking the TOEIC โข English proficiency test, so it has questions with related vocabulary and more suitable for adult (or at least high school grade) learners. It also has sections defining the grammar terms with examples. If youโre looking for an app that not only tests but also teaches in a simple way, this is the one.
Sentence Builder by Mobile Education Store LLC for iPad
Price: $5.99
This app is aimed for elementary aged children. It has 3 levels with 100 pictures for building sentences. You choose word by word from groups of words to make a correct sentence for each picture.
Children learn several grammar concepts at the same time this way. More importantly, they use what theyโve leart to make sentences, not just filling blanks or choosing the right answer for each part of grammar.
Correct answers are provided in audio for help. Children who cannot build sentences by themselves still can learn to recognize words they hear and also learn the correct pronunciation.
10 Minute English (Lite) โ Mirai English (Mirai Language Systems)
Price : free
As a Lite version of an app, this one has 4 full lessons. Each lesson has a short dialog between two people with audio and highlighted balloon of text.
After that, comes the vocabulary with audio pronunciations and explanations of the grammar used in the dialog with example sentences. Of course there is aย quiz at the end.
The conversations are by two speakers with different kinds of English accent (American and British). This could be confusing for beginner learners. So this app may be
more suitable for intermediate learners, who want to understand two kinds of English accents.
iGE: The interactive Grammar of English from UCL
Price : $6.99
Before you buy the full version, you can download the lite version of this app. Itโs a useful app for learning English especially for people who use it atย work or studying.
To get the most of this app you have to be able to understand long sentences and have a sufficiently large vocabulary. Thus this app isย more suitable for intermediate to advance learners and even for teachers.

Even an adult ESL leaner needs fun app once in a while. This app which is, actually built for little children, does just that.
