The
Grammar Page!!
Grammar is not so bad as you think - really!! Especially English grammar.
As all students on my courses know -
'ENGLISH IS EASY!!'
Just remember these two tips...
|
ENGLISH is not GERMAN |
WHY? is not IMPORTANT |
One more thing to keep in mind is that 'grammar' only sounds complicated because it's full of technical names - once you know the names it's easy!!
For example:
Teacher: What's the 'Nominative First Person Singular Personal Pronoun'?
Student: Oh god, oh god!!!...er, I..., er, I...
Teacher: Yes, 'I', that's correct! 'I' is the Nominative First Person Singular Personal Pronoun, excellent!!
You can impress your friends and family with this kind of thing:
You: Hello dear, today was hard. In English we did the Nominative First Person Singular Personal Pronoun...
Wife/husband/friend: You poor swine! Sit down and relax, I'll bring you a beer/wine/etc....
And for those times when you just can't remember how the grammar works here are a few pages to download and keep - there's more to come!! Lots more...
