THOUGHTS TO PONDER

Learning grammar doesn't happen overnight nor do I expect you to be grammar savvy at the end of your online tests. However my goal is to refresh your grammar knowledge and to prepare you for what is really ahead. The results of your online grammar tests may not define your future outputs for the subject; thus you need not worry because I do not judge you by your grammar. I am here to help you with your grammar by making you help yourself, hence the activities for this week and for the entire school year in general. Bear in mind that grammar is best learned when applied communicatively and not just by form. Thus be prepared to speak and write to enhance it.
