Single?
This is a very low level class but two students aren't freshmen and their english is very good. It is hard to teach very very basic stuff when 10% of the students are near fluent. I told them to look at the vocab first. Also the importance of understanding grammar to know the difference between same sounding words. |
In the book we were doing things on your desk and noting the use of a pencil or some books etc. I explained that the spelling of a word or the written letters are not the same as the sound. |
I used the word "read" to demonstrate different pronunciation of the same word if it is present or past. the point was that grammar tells us the pronunciation. |
This may look odd but I was trying to explain "my family number is 4 or I have 4 families" sounds weird in English. Also that single is one and plural is 2 and more than one. |
