Teaching grammar with communicative activity

Teaching grammar is challenging for most of the students, but obviously we need grammar to speak correctly. Using new grammar without knowing any rules is possible and very effective.

In this activity, students will work in pairs and speak about their experience. They will have questions and possible answers. After filling out the question chart, they share their partner's answers by using new grammar. After using the target language and grammar, they see and read the formation and rules.

Ask your partner these questions?

Fill the table with YES/NO answers then share it with the class.
