  • Reinforces and assesses correct English usage

Strategy

Develop a list of sentence pairs, one grammatically correct and the other incorrect.

  • For example, if the students need to work on subject-verb agreement with to be verbs is and are, develop sentences such as:

    • The students are in math class.

    • The students is in math class.

  1. Teach/review rules for using is and are in relation to singular and plural nouns.

  2. Students identify the relevant noun as singular or plural.

  3. Ask them if are is the correct verb and why.

  4. After the students have practiced with several similar pairs of sentences, have them work independently or with partners to complete a different set of sentence pairs.

  5. Students compare their work and discuss any responses that don’t agree.

  6. Follow similar steps for other syntactic structures that are difficult for the students.
