This term we have been revising grammar topics such as: relatives, passive voice and reported speech. There was a topic we saw which was completely new to my students, the impersonal passive.
Whenever I have to teach or revise a grammar topic, I hear some students saying: Gammar? No, please!
As far as grammar is concerned, I have three different types of students:
- Those you have facility in reading, writing and speaking but who have never studied grammar. They choose the words that sound better to them in that particular situation. These students don't normally like doing grammar exercises and may fail because they don't know the grammar rules.
- Those who like grammar lessons and grammar exercises but who have many difficulties in reading, writing and speaking. They tend to do the grammar exercises correctly, however they fail in the other areas.
- Those who are good at writing and speaking and who find English grammar very easy to learn and study. These students know that by knowing grammar, they will improve their written and spoken English.
Try to find a balance! The best way to learn grammar is by reading and listening to English.
There are many games online, you can use to practise English grammar.
Relatives- a quiz
Passive voice: a quiz
Reported Speech: a quiz
Here are three examples, but you can find many more.
