Do you confuse the homophones their, there and they’re? Three words. One sound. Endless confusion. Today’s lesson tackles one of the most common grammar mistakes in the English language: their, there, and they’re. Students often hear these words the same, but spelling and meaning matters. Their shows possession. There shows place or position. They’re is a contraction for they are. Mastering homophones strengthens writing, improves clarity, and builds confidence in communication. Small grammar fixes lead to big writing growth. Let’s clean it up and get it right. #Their #There #Theyre #CommonMistakes #GrammarLesson

Do you know your FANBOYS? In this lesson, we break down the seven coordinating conjunctions-for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so - and explain when to place a comma before them to form a compound sentence. Two complete thoughts need the right connection! Comma use can be tricky. #GrammarLesson #FANBOYS #CoordinatingConjunctions #CommaRules #EnglishTeacher

Subject Verb Direct Object Indirect Object Adjective - parts of speech We went back to one of the classics of grammar instruction—sentence diagramming. Together, we broke down the sentence: Students identified the subject, verb, indirect object, direct object, and the prepositional phrase. Diagramming helps students see how a sentence works. Instead of guessing, they can visually understand the structure of language. Sometimes going “old school” is one of the best ways to strengthen writing skills. When students understand how sentences are built, their grammar, reading comprehension, and writing all improve. And yes… I remembered how to diagram it after all. 😉 #SentenceDiagramming #GrammarLesson #EnglishTeacher #tiktoklearningcampaign #edutok

One of my favorite English grammar classroom activities is putting a passage full of grammar mistakes on the board and letting my students hunt for the errors. They correct, and explain why something is wrong—and they love it. This interactive quiz keeps everyone engaged, helps students sharpen their grammar skills, and proves that sometimes the best way to learn the right way is by finding what’s wrong first.
