๐งโ๐TG INTRODUCTION Transformational grammar made easy! A practical guide for learners of English.๐
However, as a language teacher who had studied linguistics, I wanted ...to try it. Of course, I had to adapt it to suit the needs of the students, but I found it worked well. It was useful and fun, and it gave students a strong sense of structure.
This series of videos is developed from my experiences in the classroom. It is not transformational grammar for linguists; it is for students who want to gain confidence in understanding English sentence structure. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful!
The playlist is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kooSTIMNYrg&list=PLzVb6yL_jY6_dD6H4Wz-VEHwpTU2meOfq&index=3
The series can be watched as a single video here: https://youtu.be/5lyZI3dZujk
