Grammar!

We have high standards for students in International Section—meaning, we treat you like native speakers and expect that you have already acquired your foundations in grammar! If you want to strenghthen those foundations, however, here are some useful tools to master grammar this summer!

 

1) Using this website you can brush up on all the tenses. Read the tutorial under “topics covered” and complete the corresponding exercise. Then press “check” to see if your responses are correct!

2) Once you feel you have a hang for things using the tool above, go ahead and play some grammar games!

3) With this website, you can work on verb conjugation. Choose a tense, choose “regular” or “irregular” verbs depending on how courageous you are feeling, and then fill in the boxes with the correct conjugation and check your answers.
