*** GRaMMaR is not a MONSTER!!! ***
Most students think grammar is a big monster. You need to tell your students that “GraMMaR tHe MoNsTeR” never kicks people, never punches people and never bites!
Advice:
* Use visuals to teach grammar: Use time clines with pictures, examples with pictures (Here is a website that is useful for visual learners: englishtenseswithcartoons.com )
* Avoid mathematical formulas: To be (am/is/are) + going to + Verb1. Use this structure with examples! Using this form alone will look boring and boring and boring… Zzzz!

Grammar is surely not a monster but as time goes by I think spelling becomes more important. For example “I doesn’t smoke” is grammatically wrong but i can understand that he does not smoke.
