Prepositions: Locators in Time and Place A preposition describes a relationship between other words in a sentence. In itself, a word like "in" or "after" is rather meaningless and hard to define in mere words. For instance, when you do try to define a preposition like "in" or "between" or "on," you invariably use your hands to show how something is situated in relationship to something else. Prepositions are nearly always combined with other words in structures called prepositional phrases. Consider the professor's desk and all the prepositional phrases we can use while talking about it. You can sit before the desk (or in front of the desk). Those words in bold blue font are all prepositions. Click HERE for a list of common prepositions that will be easy to print out. Is it any wonder that prepositions create such troubles for students for whom English is a second language? Prepositions of Time: at, on, and in We use at to designate specific times. The train is due at 12:15 p.m. We use on to designate days and dates.

Innehåll och form - integrerad grammatikundervisning Mina 9or har i engelskan under en period arbetat med Indien. De har gruppvis får fördjupa sig i ett ämne som de presenterat för klassen och alla har fått en överblick över de viktigaste delarna av landets kultur. Det var dags att avrunda och jag passade på att lägga in ett grammatiskt moment som jag vet att eleverna inte använder aktivt: tag questions. När det gäller vilken grammatik som ska eller inte ska undervisas kan man välja och vraka. Många av våra elever tar till sig grammatiska strukturer genom den extramurala engelskan och det är svårt att hitta saker som är nya för alla. Tag questions är påhängsfrågor som man hänger på ett påstående för att söka medhåll hos åhöraren, de motsvarar svenskans “eller hur?”. Under tiden eleverna formulerade sina påståenden skrev jag några exempel på tavlan. Efter genomgången av hur tag questions fungerar var nästa steg självklart: Skapa påhängsfrågor till de påståenden ni skrivit på era lappar. -Mumbai is the capital of India, isn’t it?

Peter Griffin and The Giant Chicken: -ED Verb Endings (Id/T/D) – The Canswedi... Learning grammar is usually boring. (Maybe teaching it is a little boring at times too.) At times I try to make it as interesting for them (and who am I kidding here – ME) as possible. Currently, I am teaching my 7th Grade students the correct pronunciation of past tense verbs with an -ed ending. I am getting a little tired of Kahoot-ing (is that a word?!) ISL has a tonne of great English video lessons. YES – I am well aware that I am showing a video that has violence in it, and TECHNICALLY as a teacher perhaps I should not be showing a giant chicken and a man fighting each other to the death… Whatever It’s funny.
English news and easy articles for students of English Voice in English Grammar: Rules, Myths and Mistakes About the Passive and Active Voice | FluentU English Uh oh—did you mess up? Broke your spouse’s favorite lamp? Forgot to pick your friend up from the airport? Showed up an hour late to work? Just use a little trick that English speakers have to get out of trouble. It’s called the passive voice. It’s one of two essential voices in English grammar—the other is called the active voice. The thing about the passive voice is you can point out your mistake without actually taking the blame. The lamp was broken. A meeting was missed. Mistakes were made. This is just one example of how knowing voice in English grammar can help you talk and write like a native speaker. As for the broken lamp—we can’t help you there. What Is Voice in English Grammar? You may’ve already heard of the active voice and passive voice in English. But… what the heck do those terms actually mean? It all has to do with the subject and the action that’s happening in the sentence. Here’s an example of the active voice: The woman throws the baseball. Now, let’s flip it into the passive voice:

En annorlunda uppgift - första, andra tredje! Grammatik är inte alltid elevernas favoritsysselsättning även om det är frökens! Jag står nästan aldrig framme vid tavlan och har traditionella grammatikgenomgångar. Jag har under åren konstaterat att det inte har så stor effekt och att det tar mycket tid. Jag försöker därför att variera och framförallt lägga in moment som eleverna tycker är roligt. Ett sätt jag ibland använder är grammatikauktion! Upplägget tar cirka en halvtimme att förbereda och en timme att genomföra. Nedanstående upplägg går att använda i många olika ämnen och för olika åldrar. Hur går det till? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Eleverna blir väldigt engagerade och uppspelta! Uppgiften är inspirerad av Clare Lavery via BBC Teaching English. Sara

A Brief History of National Grammar Day National Grammar Day, which is celebrated on March 4, was established in 2008 by Martha Brockenbrough, the author of Things That Make Us [Sic] and founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar (SPOGG). Former President George W. Bush sent a letter commemorating the day in its inaugural year. In an interview with Grammarly last year, Martha explained that she founded the day because she wanted to help her students with their grammar in a lively and positive way. As the National Grammar Day website states, “Language is something to be celebrated, and March 4 is the perfect day to do it. Some people celebrate National Grammar Day with blog posts and lessons dedicated to the subject. At Grammarly, we treat every day like it’s National Grammar Day by helping you to perfect your writing all year round.
SVOMPT - word order in English SVOMPT rule is one of the most important rules in English. If students learn to follow this rule, their English will improve dramatically, and they will be understood. Once a student knows some words and follows the SVOMPT rule, we can say that he/she can speak English. I love Darren Crown’s explanation of the origin of the SVOMPT word order. In his humorous book “Angličtina na rovinu” he writes that English was first used by a primitive tribe whose members did not want to use their brain too much and thus they created a word order which is always the same – Subject, Verb, Object, adverbs of Manner, adverbs of Place and adverbs of Time.
