Some Grammar and ESL Vids

I've been playing around with video content for the RoadToGrammar channel on YouTube.

Here's what I've come up with so far (feel free to like and subscribe - it'll encourage me to make more):

5 Idioms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2Mfz_Ks8fc

FEW vs a FEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAzCJ-td26w

New Vocabulary Activity: Learn5

 Available now, there is a new vocabulary activity on Road To Grammar.

The purpose is to learn five words at a time. The way it works it like this:

1 Review flashcards of five words. The flashcards have a picture example and the definition.

2 Then try five MCQ questions on the words you have just learned.

The activity is randomized from a bank of 300+ words, so you can try the activity as many times as you like.

Most of the words are from the Road To Grammar Instagram account, so you may recognize them if you are a follower.

More words will be added later.

The link for this activity is:

Crying

Let's look at some words that describe crying.

The "water" that comes out of your eyes when you cry is called tears and we use this word to form many idioms:

If you are in tears, it means you are crying.

To shed tears is to cry.

If we think someone is faking when they cry, we call it crocodile tears.

To cry silently is to weep. The past tense is wept.

To cry loudly is to wail or sob.

The Vocabulary Gym

The Vocabulary Gym is a new feature on roadtogrammar.com.

It offers bite-sized vocabulary quizzes on a range of often overlooked topics - from 'things you can do with your fingers' to 'Stationery'. Each one has five to eight questions, so it is perfect for a warm-up exercise before a class. It can also be done on a smartphone, tablet or any other device. You can filter the quizzes by CEFR level, too.
