Hi Gill,
Thanks for your feedback. As the primary focus of these lessons is writing and many of them cover more than one grammar point, it would be tricky to put them into just a few generic groups. Would it be useful if we included information on the grammar covered in the standfirst for each lesson?
Best wishes,
The onestopenglish team

I'm just wondering if you have decided not to do the grouping of worksheets that is mentioned in the comment from August 2015. It would be so much easier for busy teachers scrolling through dozens and dozens of (very good) resources!

You have some really good worksheets in the skills section but it would be so much easier to access them (and less frustrating) if you could GROUP THEM according to level say what grammar is being practised. This applies to all the worksheet sections. I must admit that half the time I give up as it takes so long to open them all.
