Making Grammar Easy! 1-2-3!

Learning grammar can be difficult for the most studious of students.  It is to understand the rules and their applications.  Most teachers will encourage reading. A target is to read a book a month. It enables the reader to see the grammar rules in real life, or story telling situations—and most of all, it shares different writing styles from an array of writers sharing stories, information, and messages in publications, social media, internet, novels, or academic text books.

Connect! Act! Practice! 

Movement and activity help with the practice of learning English.  In walking the streets think of the verbs witnessed as your explore daily life, including the grass, tree, birds, stop sign, buses, and the people.   This helps build on grammar, numeracy, and strengthen verbal skills.

Find the time to walk and explore.

Write about your Hero! 

Writing a biography  is a great exercise to practice.   It offers an opportunity to contrasts the simple past and present prefect tenses.  Write about yourself or write about your hero, favourite celebrity, or sports professional.  Focus on the main achievements, adding a few pictures from an historical timelines.

The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not to be worshiped. It is our future in which we will find our greatness.”    Pierre Trudeau, Canada’s 20^th and 22^nd who established Constitution, Canadian’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution, and Canadian Health Act.

A or An?

The rule of using an “a”  or “an” is determined if the word following starts with a vowel.  Cut a variety of photos which either use  “a” or an “an”, mixing them up for fun.  Figure the rule, which applies to each picture.

Find the time to have fun learning English.

Learning past perfect tense 

It’s hard to learn the past perfect tense. The historical timelines of one’s life can be a useful tool to practice past prefect and even simple past tenses.   Create an historical events timeline.  For example: if you were born in 1990 you might like to know that Germany was reunited, or Nelson Mandela was freed from prison. 

 Scan your timeline and then practice “World War Two ended in 1945.  My grandmother was born in 1943.   I was born in 1975. When the War ended it was two years after my grandmother’s birth and 30 years before my birth.  The comfortability of the use of past perfect begins! One can ask question as it relates to local, national or international history.  “John, when you started primary school in 1997 had Princess Diana died?”
