Ask questions that will help students become aware of the form of the structure. For example, for
present and future unreal conditionals (FOG 4, Unit 23, page 338), read the statement,“If Mia had money,
she would live in a palace,“ and ask the class to name the verb in the if clause. (Had.) Ask students what
form it is. (The simple past form.) Ask students if the meaning is in the past. (No.) Ask the class to name the
verb in the result clause. (Live.) Ask students what form it is. (The base form.) Ask students what “base form”
means. (The simple form without an ending.)
Have students use the examples in the charts to practice the form. In the simple past and past pro-
gressive unit (FOG 4, Unit 2, page 11), you might ask students to look at the examples in the chart and
change the affirmative statements to negative ones. (Marie studied at the Sorbonne. → Marie didn’t study
at the Sorbonne.)
Use the charts with Grammar in Context. Ask students to look at Grammar in Context and find examples
that illustrate the points in the grammar charts. Students can also use the grammar terms in the charts to
label items in Grammar in Context.
Compare charts. For example, compare the past perfect and past perfect progressive (FOG 4, Unit 4,
pages 29–31). Ask, “Do you use had (not) in statements with both the past perfect and past perfect pro-
gressive?” (Yes, but past perfect progressive uses been after had (not).) Ask,“Do you use the base form with
wh- questions with both the past perfect and past perfect progressive?”(No.The past perfect uses the past
participle.The past perfect progressive uses been + base form + -ing.)
Help students understand grammar terminology through the use of the charts. All Focus on Grammar
charts are clearly labeled. (Affirmative/Negative, Yes/No Questions, Wh- Questions, Subject, Base Form,
Subject Pronoun, Object Pronoun, etc.) Ask questions to make certain students understand what the
labels mean.
Use the charts to practice items from a list. For example, in FOG 4, Unit 15, page 228, students could
practice the modals by making up sentences about themselves and classmates. Instead of “You should not
watch this TV show,” they could say,“I should not eat so much junk food,”“I ought to go to museums more
often,”“I had better study for my English test.” etc.
● Ask students to provide personal examples. For example, Unit 23, page 338 of FOG 4, says,“If Mia had
money, she would live in a palace.” Ask students to say what they would do if they had the money to do it.
(“If I had money, I would buy a new car.”)
