The Ultimate 2nd Year Bac Language & Grammar Compilation (2017-2019)
Are you a 2nd Year Baccalaureate student preparing for your upcoming National English Exam in Morocco? Or perhaps you are an English teacher looking for high-quality, targeted practice materials for your classes? If so, you have come to the right place. Preparing for the national standardized test requires more than just memorizing vocabulary lists; it requires familiarizing yourself with the exact format and recurring patterns of the exam itself. To help you achieve the best possible score, we have compiled a highly valuable resource: a consolidated document containing the complete "Language" sections from the National Bac Exams of 2017, 2018, and 2019.
This document is specifically focused on the 15-point Language section, which is often the make-or-break portion of the English test. By practicing these past papers, you will get a comprehensive review of all the core lessons included in the Moroccan syllabus. Let us break down exactly what this document contains and the crucial lessons you will be reviewing.
First, the document heavily tests your Vocabulary and Word Formation skills. You will find exercises that challenge your knowledge of common English collocations, such as knowing when to use "do business" instead of "make business." It also includes critical phrasal verbs like "find out," "put on," and "let in." Furthermore, the word formation exercises will test your ability to seamlessly switch between word categories, asking you to transform verbs into nouns (e.g., changing "celebrate" to "celebration" or "punish" to "punishment") or adjectives to adverbs.
Second, you will encounter rigorous Grammar and Tenses exercises. The document provides excellent practice for mastering complex verb tenses, particularly the Future Perfect, which frequently appears with specific time markers like "By this time next year" or "By the end of this year." You will also navigate between the Simple Past and Present Perfect tenses, sharpening your understanding of English timelines.
Third, the core of the document lies in the Sentence Rewriting section. This is where your structural grammar is truly put to the test. The compilation includes numerous examples of Reported Speech, requiring you to convert direct statements, WH-questions ("Where can I find a gas station?"), and commands into indirect speech. It also features Passive Voice transformations, teaching you how to shift the focus of a sentence, such as changing "They will equip highways" to "Highways will be equipped." Additionally, you will get extensive practice with Conditional Type 3, forming hypothetical past scenarios (e.g., "If the firemen had brought enough equipment, they would have...").
Finally, the compilation covers Linking Words, Relative Pronouns, and Communication Functions. You will practice connecting ideas using words denoting contrast like "whereas" and "despite," and correctly applying relative pronouns such as who, which, whose, when, and where. The communication section will help you identify everyday language functions, matching expressions to their conversational intent—whether it is giving advice ("Why don't you..."), expressing regret ("If only we had..."), responding to bad news, or expressing certainty.
Having all these lessons packed into a single, printable Word document is an incredible time-saver. You can preview the content below, download the file directly, print it out, and use it as a definitive mock exam for the language section. Good luck with your studies, and make sure to practice every single sentence!
