<div><div><i><b>The Grammar Answer Key </b></i>is a collection of 100 questions submitted by ESL teachers--both novice and experienced and both native and non-native speakers--from many different countries around the world. The questions are real questions that ESL/EFL students have asked teachers about English and are similar to the Hot Seat Questions presented in <i>Keys to Teaching Grammar to English Language Learners, 2nd ed. </i>(Folse, 2016). <br><br> The 100 questions are organized into 12 chapters on topics that teachers and students can relate to well: adjectives, articles, clauses, connectors, gerunds and infinitives, prepositions, pronouns, pronunciation, subject-verb agreement, suffixes, verbs, and vocabulary-grammar connections. The number of questions in each chapter ranges from 3 to 13 and is based on the questions submitted. Each chapter begins with a short overview of the topic that features key terminology and a chart explaining three common ESL errors. <br><br> Each question is presented in a box and is followed by an "answer" that can inform instruction, often in chart format. Examples of questions are:<ul><li>How do you know if a word is an adjective?              </li><li>Can I say <i>the Monday </i>or <i>the January? </i></li><li>Do you say <i> on July </i>or<i> </i><i>in July?</i></li><li>I received an email from someone that said “Greetings from my wife and I.” Is this right? Why?</li><li>How do I know which way to pronounce the <i>-ed </i>at the end of a word?</li><li>Which verb tenses are the most common in English? Which ones should I study?</li><li>Why do you say <i>turn on the light </i>instead of <i>turn the light? </i></li><li>In my language, we have one word for <i>make </i>and<i> do. </i>In English, when should I use <i>make </i>and when should I use <i>do? </i></li></ul><br> The book is the ideal teacher resource and professional development tool. </div></div>
