Can you play the piano?
Can you open the window?
How is the meaning of these sentences different?
Is the form different or the same?
M-U-F examplesREVIEW

M-U-F examples
“The dog’s b*llocks.”
“The bee’s knees.”
These are British idioms that mean “good/amazing”
Notice that the form and the meaning are the same. However, one of these is rude and should not be used in polite settings. This means the “use” is different.

Prescriptive grammar vs. Descriptive grammar
(think about the double negative in the statement)
![Page 15: English Grammar (Teaching) Today’s class - … · English Grammar (Teaching) ... speakers should use "she" in that context. Descriptive verb ... Learners in Practical English Language](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5ad46c637f8b9a5c638bceee/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Prescriptive grammar is prescribed by rules.
Descriptive grammar describes how people
really use language
![Page 16: English Grammar (Teaching) Today’s class - … · English Grammar (Teaching) ... speakers should use "she" in that context. Descriptive verb ... Learners in Practical English Language](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5ad46c637f8b9a5c638bceee/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Which is correct?
I am older than her. / I am older than she.
Descriptive Explanation “than her”: Subject pronouns (she, he, it, and so on) are paired with a verb, whereas object pronouns (her, him, it, and so on) are not. Since the phrase "than her" doesn't have a verb we can see or hear, some speakers choose an object pronoun in the context.
Prescriptive Explanation “than she”: 'than' is a conjunction; it joins two like forms: "I am older" with "she is older", giving "I am older than she is older", but speakers omit the last part "is older" because it's redundant. Nevertheless, according to prescriptive grammar, 'than' functions as a conjunction, so speakers should use "she" in that context.

Sentence Mimes
This activity is good for practicing sentence order (grammar). Choose a simple sentence and create an action for each word. For example:
I [point to eye] like [make/point to heart] cats [make a paw]. What other animals can we put in this sentence with actions?
We [draw a circle] are [bend finger] reading books [act reading]. What other hobbies can we act with this sentence?
What does this mean? [draw a circle] [make/point to heart] [make a paw]
In your groups choose a sentence and make mimes to teach the class. Can we make any new sentences with our new actions?

Homework 2:
Here is a syllabus from Chapter 3: Grammar for Intermediate Learners in Practical English Language Teaching: Grammar by David Nunan. A copy of the full chapter is available on my website for reference.
In class, we will arrange a unit for each of you from the syllabus. This means that each of you will have a different grammar point. If you are absent from class, then you can choose any unit.
For Week 7 (after Chuseok), you need to prepare a grammar activity for your unit’s grammar point. The grammar activity can be created by you or from a website or textbook. The grammar activity can be in the form of a worksheet, survey, information gap, word cards, board game, guessing game, or any other format that you think is suitable for your target language. Take a look at the full Chapter 3 file from my website to get some ideas.

In Week 7 class, you will present and explain your activity in small groups, perhaps with a short demonstrate to help others understand.
