A reader sent me an interesting email today.
Her son has to prepare for an English exam.
And he needs help.
I looked at the list of what he must learn.
How many of these grammar terms do you know?
causative
mixed-conditionals
semi-modals
inversion
secondary clauses
wishes
While I’ve read many grammar books…
I have no idea what a lot of those words mean.
Yes, I would fail this exam.
But here’s one question I could answer: Wishes!
Here’s my wish…
I wish schools would stop torturing kids with complicated English grammar rules and instead help them enjoy and use the language.
I agree with fact, that grammar rules are boring. Pupils hate boring grammar exercises.
Not only pupils hate grammar exercises 😉
I’m also think grammar complicated talking and understanding. It’s better to learn in your methods.
I agree!
I like your wish!
I wish the same and not only for English lessons
