For Learner Autonomy“As learners start to get used to the idea of grammar as
being contingent on certain high frequency key words, encourage them to keep a record of these words in the notebooks – or even a special notebook for key words.
They should devote a whole page to each word.As they encounter examples of the word, for example, in
course book texts, or in their general reading and listening, they should record it in the book, preferably in such a way as to display its patterns. ….
…If possible, ask them to categorise these examples according to the categories in Natural Grammar. In this way, learners produce their own, customised, version of Natural Grammar.” – Thornbury, OUP ELT Natural Grammar site

Every Search is Different…the principle is the same
Query SyntaxA query is made up of one or more terms concatenated with a + symbol.
E.g.hell+hole would search for the word "hell" immediately followed by the word "hole".
Terms may be made up of simple alphabetic strings, optionally modified with a trailing asterisk or 'at'-symbol, concatenated and separated by
vertical bars, or followed by an oblique stroke and a part-of-speech tag.Word combinations
The plus may be modified with a preceding number to indicate the maximum number
of intervening words. E.g. dog+4bark will search for "dog" followed by "bark" with up to 4 words intervening.
Inflected FormsAn at-sign (@) appended to a string of letters causes the software to expand the word
form preceding the @ symbol into a set of inflected forms. For example, the query blew@+away
will search for the set of words blow blows blowing blew followed by the word away.

Helping Teachers with Difficult Grammar Questions
•Verb patterns (is it the gerund or the infinitive?)
•Prepositions
•Reported speech
•Relative clauses
•Articles

Classroom Ideas
•Preparing tailor-made exercises that respond to your students’ needs
•Learners design their own exercises (knowledge construction through learning projects)
•Peer or self-correction
•Deducing meaning, connotation and/or grammatical features of pairs of words (see and watch, for example)
•What is the grammar rule? (a discovery approach)
•Genre Awareness exercises eg based on a word with a specific meaning, doing a search for that word and evaluating its context
•Word searches for stories in different newspapers
