Default Re: Grammar rules and exceptions!

Quote Denis DNT View Post
Most of our learners like to have rules which they believe facilitate their learning but unfortunately for them most garmmar rules have exceptions.
Do you emphasize on grammar rules when teaching? Do you get them to handle exceptions later, teach the rules and the exceptions together, or ignore exceptions and let them find out themselves?
Pretty confusing, isn't it?
I always emphasize grammar rules first, as well as the exceptions
everything is based on grammar rules. that's the chief problem and that's what makes teaching children so difficult- you can't just "teach them the rules"
