Grammar Worksheets

These are supplemental grammar worksheets to use with the Smart English course
book. The worksheets align with the units from Smart English. The worksheets
have been designed to give students a more explicit grammar explanation, sample
problems, and more writing practice.
Teaching grammar can be challenging. However, there is a basic format you can
follow to help both yourself and your students.
1. Give explicit directions with examples (i.e. use grammar charts).
2. Check to see if students understand.
3. Allow students time for guided practice with structure.
4. Check to see if students understand.
5. Allow time for more practice focusing on writing.
6. Check to see if students understand.
The Smart English course books focus on the four skills - listening, reading, writing,
and speaking. Some students, however, might need to focus more on the grammar
structures they are learning in the course books. These grammar worksheets are
meant to appease that need.
Each worksheet starts with a grammar chart. These are meant to provide students
with the target structure, an explanation of the target structure, and a few
examples. Ideally, these grammar charts should be looked at together with your
students. It is likely they"ll have some questions and it would be good if the teacher
is there to help.
