Title: Grammar Goofs
Target Structure: Error Correction
Level: Advanced
Time: 30 minutes
   

Description:

 

How good are your students at advanced error correction?

This worksheet looks at grammar mistakes which are commonly made by native speakers. There are twenty-four different sentences. Can your class find the errors?

The lesson works well with a follow-up discussion. Some of the 'errors' in the sentences may well be controversial. Should we really care about split infinitive? How does English grammar compare to your students' mother tongue? Is the grammar strict in their language? Do people regularly break the rules?

This lesson is designed for advanced-level classes.
