I achieved good results in English. Do I need to take a Grammar Bridging Course?
See how many of the following questions you can answer:
- These are some utterances typical of a 3-year old child interacting with his mother. Identify all the multiword phrases and classify them as NP, VP, ADJ-P, ADV-P, or PP: "That tiger a bad cat." "Two cars sit on garage." "My race car goes so fast."
- Does this utterance from a 7-year old child contain more than one clause? "The giraffe fell onto the little boy."
- Provide examples of how a speech pathologist might help this 2-year old begin to include more adjectival phrases in her language. Typically, the 2-year old says things like: "That a ball." "A baby."
- Identify the verb in this utterance as either Copular, Auxiliary, Gerund or Infinitive: "They were happy."
If you experienced difficulty with these questions or want to improve your skills and confidence in grammatical analysis- then the bridging course is for you!
