Reviewall: Work on mastering charts and information23
Reviewall: Work on mastering charts and information24
Reviewall: Work on mastering charts and informationWhenever you learn any subject, you begin by loading the grammar: inputting the vocabulary and facts related to that subject. In English grammar, there are a lot of terms to define, lists to memorize, and charts that show the relationships between the ideas. This is like looking at the individual pieces of a puzzle, then putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
In order to help you to load the grammar of the English language, all the terms, lists, and charts have been put in a format that many Essentials students have used success-fully. The first chart (called Sentence Classification, Chart A) is like the box of the puzzle: the whole picture of grammar. All the other charts are like individual pieces of that puzzle. Each chart that needs to be memorized is in this section of the guide. The com-pleted chart is called a “Master” chart. Each master is followed by a “Student” chart which is blank.
Put all the charts into page protectors, then use a dry erase marker to fill in the student chart. At first, you will look closely at the master chart in order to fill in the student chart, but if you concentrate and pay attention while filling in the charts, you will soon be able to fill in the student chart without looking at the master. You should spend about 20 minutes a day studying the charts this way.
Keep practicing over time, and you will be able to write out all the master charts onto blank paper from memory. When you can do that, you will be a grammar “master,” and you will be well prepared to tackle any language.
The charts are listed by the week that they are introduced by your Essentials tutor. Once a chart is introduced, practice it every day for at least a week, then, once a week, review all the charts either by reciting them aloud or filling in all the student charts that have been assigned thus far.
Every day spend about 20 minutes on Grammar Mastery charts, then spend about 20 minutes on the second trail of Essentials: Dialectic Discussions.

...the roles or jobs a noun
can have in a sentence.
...ways to describe a noun.
Parent Note:
Some nouns can also be
described as being masculine,
feminine, or neuter, but in
English, gender does not affect
the ending as it does in many
other languages.
Parent Note:
On the EEL Practice Sentence
Sheets, possessive pronouns are
labeled as adjectives as this is the
“job” they play in the sentence.
Quid et Quo drills out the
details.
Teaching Tip:
The first letters of the first five
jobs of a noun spell “SPIDO.”
Pronounce it “speedo” to make
it memorable.
A noun names a person, place, thing, activity, or idea. (N)
To find a subject noun (SN), ask, “Who (verb)?” or “What (verb)?” For other usages, see the Question Confirmation.
