Theme 3 : How to Teach Grammar
Learning grammar can feel difficult, but with simple techniques, it
becomes easier. Grammar is the structure of a language, and it helps
us communicate correctly. Teachers and students can use these
steps to make grammar lessons fun and effective.
1. Start with Real-Life Examples
Grammar makes more sense when students see it in action. Use
sentences from real conversations, books, or songs. For example:
“She is reading a book.” (Present continuous tense)
“They went to the park.” (Past simple tense)
Ask students to find the verbs, nouns, or other parts of speech in the
examples.
2. Use Visuals and Activities
Pictures, charts, and drawings help students understand grammar.
For instance, draw a timeline to explain verb tenses:
Past → Yesterday I played.
Present → Today I am playing.
Future → Tomorrow I will play.
You can also use games like grammar bingo or matching activities to
make learning fun.
3. Teach in Small Steps
Introduce one rule at a time. For example, start with simple verb
forms like am, is, are. Then, move to more complex rules like has been
or will be.
4. Practice, Practice, Practice
Students learn grammar better when they practice. Give them short
exercises like filling in blanks:
“I ____ (be) happy yesterday.” (Answer: was)
“They ____ (go) to school every day.” (Answer: go)
Encourage speaking practice by asking questions like:
“What did you do yesterday?”
5. Correct Mistakes Gently
When students make mistakes, correct them kindly. For example:
Student: “She don’t like pizza.”
Teacher: “Good try! We say She doesn’t like pizza. Can you repeat
that?”
This way, students feel encouraged to keep trying.

6. Use Stories and Role-Play
Create short stories or role-play activities to teach grammar. For
instance, students can act out a conversation using the past tense:
A: “What did you do yesterday?”
B: “I went to the market.”
7. Review Often
Grammar rules need to be reviewed. Spend time each week going
over what students learned before. Use quizzes or games to check
their understanding.
Conclusion
Teaching grammar doesn’t have to be boring or hard. By using
real-life examples, visuals, and fun activities, students can enjoy
learning English grammar. The more they practice, the better they
will understand and use it.
