Take the quiz below to figure out just how well you know the complicated language. Who knows, you may find out you're a grammar pro.

daily routine Teacher of English Home About Me Didattica Art-craft Link Copyright © All right reserved by Magopedro Verbs and prepositions II Yesterday I learnt Spanish and when I tried to reconstruct a text I found out that I do not remember the small words like articles and prepositions. They were so small that I did not pay enough attention to them to remember them. Interestingly my students have similar problems with prepositions in English. Therefore I have decided to add more posts on prepositions here to help them. ADVERT There have already been several posts on prepositions: Adjectives and prepositions, Nouns and prepositions and verbs and prepositions. In this post you can find a mind map and two games. Verbs and prepositions – mind map Have a look at the mind map and try to remember the prepositions that are connected with the verbs. Verbs and prepositions – games Do you think you know the prepositions? The second game is called Teacher invaders.
How It Works - GrammarFlip GrammarFlip is a self-paced, instructional program that provides a unique sequence of engaging videos on grammar, mechanics, and usage. Topics and concepts such as parts of speech, parts of the sentence, punctuation, and usage are introduced in relation to each other. This scaffolds learning and solidifies student understanding as the program progresses. At their own pace, students watch instructional videos from home, having the ability to pause and review sections that remain unclear to them. Students then move on to a series of practice exercises which provide instant feedback to reinforce their learning. Through a reporting feature, teachers can quickly assess how students performed on their practice exercises in order to identify which students need further assistance.
