The Beatles - Paperback Writer Letter;Writing - Formal vs Informal LanguageI have categorized songs under various headings such as grammar, discussion topics and vocabulary. The grammar group has been divided according to suggested use e.g articles; present simple etc. The vocabulary group has been divided according to focus e.g. colours; weather etc. This list is by no means comprehensive. It has been compiled mostly from my own experience and from ideas from various websites including HYPERLINK "http://www.musicalenglishlessons.org" www.musicalenglishlessons.org. Sometimes it is difficult to decide if a category belongs under Grammar or under Vocabulary so please check both if you are looking for something specific.

Any song can be used for grammar and vocabulary tasks so I have concentrated on what I thought to be the main focus.
