Focus on Grammar 3 Transparencies

Grammar Charts
The purpose of the grammar charts is to help students notice the form of the structure, to preteach some of the grammar notes that follow, and to familiarize students with grammar
terminology. The Focus on Grammar (FOG) transparencies give instructors a tool to more
effectively engage students in class as they tackle a new grammar point together.
Here are some suggestions for using the transparencies.

Ask questions that will help students become aware of the form of the structure.
For example, for the imperative (FOG 3, Unit 2, page 14), read the affirmative statement,
Bend your knees, and ask the class to name the verb. (Bend.) Ask students what form it
is. (The base form.) Ask students what base form means. (The simple form without an
ending.) Ask students, Is there a subject?(No.) Explain that in the imperative we
understand that the subject is you. Ask, How do we form the negative in the
imperative? (Add Dont before the base form.)

Have students use the examples in the charts to practice the form. In the imperative
unit, you might ask students to look at the examples in the chart and change the
affirmative statements to negative ones. (Bend your knees. Dont bend your knees.)

Use the charts with Grammar in Context. Ask students to look at Grammar in Context
and find examples that illustrate the points in the grammar charts. Students can also use
the grammar terms in the charts to label items in Grammar in Context.

Compare charts. For example, for the simple past (FOG 3, Unit 3, pages 2325), there
are charts for the past of be and for other verbs. Ask, How many forms are there for the
simple past of be in affirmative statements? (Two: was and were.) How many forms are
there for the simple past of other verbs in affirmative statements? (One: i.e. moved or
came.) Ask, Do you use the base form for past yes/no questions with be? (No.) Do you
use the base form for past yes/no questions with other verbs? (Yes.) What else do you
use? (Did.)

Help students understand grammar terminology through the use of the charts. All
Focus on Grammar charts are clearly labeled (Affirmative/ Negative, Yes/No Questions,
Wh- Questions, Subject, Base Form, Subject Pronoun, Object Pronoun, etc.) Ask
questions to make certain students understand what the labels mean.

Use the charts to practice items from a list. For example, FOG 3, Unit 21, page 241,
students could practice the quantifiers by making up sentences about themselves and
classmates. (I baked some cakes. I used a lot of cream. I put in a few strawberries. I
didnt use much sugar, etc.)

Ask students to provide personal examples. For example, Unit 32, page 357 of FOG
3, says, Eva enjoys going to the park. Eva wants to go to the park. Ask students to say
what they enjoy and what they want to do. (I enjoy playing soccer. I want to join a soccer
team.)
