C2 | Proficiency

✅ His was a pyrrhic victory, if ever there was one. — literary allusion + inversion
✅ She'd have been none the wiser had he not let slip. — inverted conditional + idiom
✅ The proposal, laudable though it may be, fails on pragmatic grounds. — formal concession
✅ "Nice weather," he deadpanned, eyeing the hailstones. — irony + narrative register

These are C2 patterns — the highest CEFR level. At C2 you handle literary allusion, irony, any register, and complex written argument with native-like precision across all subjects.

Marker: if your English is indistinguishable from an educated native speaker's across registers, you're C2.

C1 | Advanced

✅ Not only did she finish early, but she also helped others. — inversion for emphasis
✅ It is the process that matters, not the result. — cleft sentence
✅ I insist that he be present. — formal subjunctive
✅ Were I to disagree, I would say so. — inverted conditional

These are C1 structures — the CEFR advanced level. At C1 you control inversion, cleft sentences, subjunctive forms, and register-switching fluently across formal and informal contexts.

Marker: if you can restructure a sentence for rhetorical effect without hesitation, you're C1.

Hard

Had she not intervened, the situation would have escalated. — inverted conditional
All distractors are grammatically plausible in other contexts
Multiple rules interact (e.g., tense + aspect + modality)
Context determines the answer — no single "rule" is enough

Hard marks upper-intermediate to advanced challenges: B2+, interacting rules, edge cases, plausible distractors, and contexts where pattern-matching fails.

Use "Hard" when Easy/Medium feel trivial and you want to test whether you actually understand a rule versus just recognising surface patterns.
