Teach Any English Grammar Point In 10 Minutes

Teaching English grammar can be one of the hardest and most stressful parts of the lesson for English teachers. Many teachers are so afraid of teaching grammar that they ignore it completely. In reality, teaching grammar is not only easy to do, but also a lot of fun. You just need the right technique.
This video is all about the grammar presentation. Specifically, what you do for the 10 minutes when you're up in front of your ESL students teaching your language point.

Wow, I am a native English speaker, 78 years old, and I do not know all of the parts of sentence. I remember when I was in grade school how I had trouble with past participles and past this and that. I wish this were something that I could use to teach conversational English to some girls in Panama. however, if it’s difficult for me, it’ll be impossible for them. I’m sure you know what you’re talking about, but it’s above me.
