Worksheets on grammar are not high-quality output. Essays are. The best way--I believe--to introduce grammar is to present an authentic text, note the grammar in situ, put it in a larger context, play with it a bit....and go on, drawing attention to it later but keeping it out of drill-and-kill and in texts that can develop an ear for the language. The point of grammar is to develop the ear faster and more skillfully, but the ear, not grammar rules, will be the only reliable guide in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
