Learning when and how to use articles can be confusing for ESL students, particularly when it comes to those dreaded “H” and “U” words…an hour, a horse, a house, an umbrella, a unicorn, etc.
Sometimes we use a, sometimes we use an, but other times we use nothing at all…oy vey!
To practice those tricky little articles, take this QUIZ to help you perfect these small, yet important grammatical rules.
Simple present verbs are used to express actions that are happening now and will continue to happen in the future. This can include…

Prepositions of location and movement can be difficult to remember. Look at the pictures in the CHART and then read more about the correct way to use these prepositions of location. They will help you explain where something is located or how something moves around.
There are also links to videos of popular songs that use these prepositions, along with the lyrics.
Reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, ourselves) are used when the subject and object are the same and when you want to emphasize the subject. For instance, instead of saying “I hurt me,” you would use the reflexive and say “I hurt myself” because the subject and object are the same. In order to give extra emphasis to who is doing what, you might say “I’ll do it myself” rather than just saying “I’ll do it” because you want to point out that you are the one doing it all by yourself.
