Grammar lesson: A quiz

Students: Destiny Kroll, Andriy Ashland, Toma, Katrin Deluxe, Gabbys Thistle, Brenda Coy, Luis Siqueir (Europe, Asia,)

Teacher: Elaine Bergan (USA)

Elaine divided us into two teams and we played a game. It was a grammar quiz.  The first part concentrated on two prepositions SINCE and FOR. They can get quite confusing. We had four minutes to study the grammar, either on the internet or from a book. Then we started. Elaine wrote a word into the chat box and someone from the team responded with the right preposition. It didn’t matter who. But only the first answer counted whether or not was correct. If we answered correctly we received a point. Here is an example.

Since and for

[21:19] Elaine Bergan: January

[21:19] Megi00 Ashland: since

 [21:19] Luis Siqueir: since

 [21:19] Elaine Bergan: the beginning of the year

[21:19] Andriy Ashland: since

 [21:19] Katrin07 Deluxe: since

The first round was a draw. That means that both teams had the same number of points.

[21:24] Elaine Bergan: 6-6

Next round we needed to choose the right verb see, look, watch.

 [21:30] Elaine Bergan: Cats can ___ in the dark.
