National Grammar Day in the USA

Today’s session of the Speaking Club at Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk was attended by fewer members than usually due to the fact that this Saturday is a work day in Ukraine.

The attending minority happened to belong to the «beginner» language skill level.  This fact allowed us to join the celebration of the National Grammar Day in the USA. For our grammar activities we have chosen the resources of the Voice of Americaweb-site.

The chapter “Grammar Bytes” allowed the present club members to review the basic grammar rules of the English language and get rid of the most common mistakes. The colorful   slide design and excellent sound track made the test tasks quite enjoyable.

Grammar Bytes are fast, easy, fun lessons on the most common English grammar problems.

•  Singular and Plural Nouns
•  Articles: The, A, An
• Interesting vs. Interested
• Prepositions
•  Subject Verb Agreement
• Future - Going to (Verb) vs. Will (Verb)

At the end of the session our students of English realized the importance of   the grammar knowledge.

The books on grammar available at the WOA Centre illustrated the topic of today’s club session.

The advanced language user Lesia Kovaliova participated in the US National Grammar Day too. She spent several hours getting ready to her future TOEFL Test and she wished Happy Grammar Day to all!
