Re: writing activities for English students

You can use caricatures. They are fun and encourging. You can talk about them with your students first and want them to summarize it or you can integrate it with the other skills such as reading or listening. For example; one of the students tries to complete the story or make up a new one, the others listen to him/her at the same time, and then anothe one/group continues.

Re: How can I learn to teach grammar?

Hello, I don't know any book that mat help you but I suggest you search teaching methods on google. Sometimes I find surprising sites where I can find lesson plans to teach particular grammar topics.

Hello Wmoynan, I really liked your pictures. They are nice. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Quantifier game or activity? Ideas please!

doll — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 18:52:02 GMT

Ahh I really have no idea how you can do it with the university students. The materials I have are for young learners. You can try to write s short script in which they use quantifiers with an interesting subject, like a drama.

Is this student a native speaker of English? How old is he/she? How long has he/she been learning English?

Ahh CB, you reminded me how deeply I need a holiday. The train trip is really great, I would like to be there but somehow I couldn't feel secure when I read that there is no station. :) The name of the pub is really a great idea. I found it cunning! And that strange building. I really like to see different examples like them. New architects must be really creative. I wish there were such examples in my city too. And thanks for sharing your photos.

Hello Anon, Why don't you start first and tell us your idea?

Re: Verbs in a sentence

doll — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:43:53 GMT

Hello Anon, As used in single sentences, your verbs are correct but "always" is not a verb. However, you use "rises" correctly there. (last sentence)

Re: Shut up

doll — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:24:32 GMT

Hmm, I remembered a lesson when I was writing it and we categorized phrasal verbs as "verbs" in a sentence initially and then made the discriminations later for example phrasal verb. I was thinking of it when I wrote but I was not clear. ( At least I should have explained more) I am sorry if I confused anyone. :)

Re: Shut up

doll — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 10:09:19 GMT

Hmm, I would completely take it as a verb itself.

Re: Is am are going to

doll — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 14:26:58 GMT

Hello Ong, I really don't know the very strict rules about the tenses and your first sentence doesn't seem incorrect to me. To use "going to", you don't have to inform someone else beforehand. Yes, there is an intended action but this may be the program of the teacher. To illsutrate more, errrm, think that a teacher comes into the classroom and before the lesson she says :"today we are going to learn the future tense". The students doesn't know anything but there is an intended action which will happen in near future. The more I think deeper, the more confused I feel. Anyway. As for the second sentence. " I am plannig to take up English..." and "I will...

Re: Inverse Question

doll — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 14:19:36 GMT

They seem so but in the second sentence you want a confirmation from your friend. The speaker seems to know the truth but in the first sentence it is just a question. You can read a different comment from someone else. :)

Re: Used iadjectivally?

doll — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:18:03 GMT

Hmm, I guess if it is not really commonly used, you shouldn't use the capital letter with "library".

Re: Is grammer correct?

doll — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:44:09 GMT

Hello, In a good context it will make sense. It is grammatically correct this way. For example: When you are angry at your husband you may shout: "Am I talking to a wall here?"

Re: Inverse Question

doll — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:38:10 GMT

1) You came here yesterday, didn't you? --Corrrect. 2) You come here yesterday, didn't you? ---Wrong. You can't use the simple present tense with a past tense in tag questions. You come here, don't you? will be correct though. which one is grammatically correct? thanks

Re: Comma rules and clauses

doll — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:29:47 GMT

In the sent e nce: "Please feel free to contact us anytime if you have a question about our work, would like to meet up to go over some work that you need to be completed, would like to send your portfolio, or would like to hang out and have a cup of coffee with us." Should the first bit read "contact us anytime(comma)" --You don't need comma there. But don't forget that without comma it will be a conditional sentence. For example: If you have a question, ask us. If you want to emphasize "feel free to contact us any time" use it in a different sentence and seperate the sentences with a period (.) You used "would" repetitively which may make the reader feel confused. Why...

Can I say, (a) The potatoes grow in / into / under or below the ground. (b) The smoke from the factory is polluting (the air). You should add air. (c) There are many books in / at the (book fair/ exhibition. (d) He raised the national / n ational flag during / at / on /before the assembly. (e) The camel has two humps (on its back) (f) The lotus is aquatic / is an aquatic flower / plant. (g) He examined the germ / backteria / slide by using a microscope. He examined the germ / backteria / slide by a microscope. -- I would say "with" instead of "by " here

Hello, the Library's collections -- Does this say anything about whom collections belong to? ----- I can't see anything about the collectionist. the Teacher's conference -- Does this say anything about whom conference belongs to? Or does it say that the conference is for teachers (all teachers?)? ---- I understand from this sentence that there is a teacher mentined before and he/she will make a speech at the conference. Hmm, if you want to say that all teachers can join the conference it should read : the teachers' conference.

Cumalıkızık is in Bursa. It is a small village close to my home. You cannot see a similar place in Bursa because it is one of the oldest residance where the Ottomans first settled down. The streets were paved with small stones to avoid mud and to walk easily even if it rains or snows. You can also see the cold water coming from the mountain throughout the streets.

Ah yes, Philip has a very good point.
