This book presents and tests thirty essential grammatical
structures.
How to use the book:
Teachers may use the book in class as a complement to
other teaching materials either to check how well specific
structures have been assimilated or as the basis of a short
and stimulating group activity.
Thus, one way to use it might be to have a student read a
question, choosing the answer he considers correct; then to
have the other members of the class, working individually
or in teams, challenge or confirm the answer, with the
teacher acting as referee and score-keeper. Answers to the
tests, at all levels, can be found in a separately published
Answer Key Book.
