Can you spot the mistake in the text below?
What’s the chances of a manned mission to Mars?
It could be a problem with apostrophes or a missing article, or maybe it just doesn’t
make sense. It could be there’s a punctuation mark missing or a spelling mistake, or
perhaps the words used don’t agree – the verb is singular but the noun is plural …
What do you think? Not sure? You need this book!
Inside you will find 60 examples of incorrect English, including the one above,
adapted from genuine mistakes published in newspaper and magazine articles,
advertisements, websites, and leaflets. Each example has one mistake. Your task is
to find it and say what kind of mistake it is – then write the corrected version.
In the process you will improve your written English by learning to identify the common
mistakes that professional writers make and that professional editors and proofreaders
miss.
We all need to write to communicate with others. This book shows you how to
improve your written English by avoiding the mistakes that the professionals make.
ALSO INCLUDES OUR EXCLUSIVE A-Z OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR WORDS!
This version of the book has an improved reading format and packed full of colourful photos and images to further amuse and motivate students!

Introducing “Big Grammar Book 2” – Your Ultimate Grammar Resource!
BGB 2 is packed with 101 printable worksheets aimed at teaching and improving grammar skills in English. The topics are wide and varied, beginning with Essential English worksheets that cover the basics, such as the alphabet, days, months, and telling the time. It then moves on to tenses (with a lot of focus on tenses!), irregular verbs, question forms, word order in sentences, parts of English, uncountable nouns, and much more! If you’ve used the first BGB, you know what to expect from this edition. Approximately 25% of the worksheets in this book closely model activities from BGB 1, such as Full Stops 1 & 2 (pp.68-69).
The material begins at the beginner level with alphabet worksheets and progressively increases in difficulty while remaining at the Elementary (A1 / A2) level. Only towards the end do things become “tougher,” introducing articles, conditionals, and phrasal verbs. Don’t worry—all the answers and notes for use are included at the back of this book.
English teachers can use Big Grammar Book 2 in the classroom, although it may be more effective to assign the worksheets as homework, allowing students to focus on speaking, listening, and group work—essentially producing language—during class time. This resource is also ideal for private study, whether for homework or self-study, and is suitable for use in online lessons. Teachers are encouraged to adapt the worksheets, treating many pages as templates for creating their own activities. For example, the sentence building worksheets (from p.60) are perfect for adaptation, among many others.
I hope you enjoy learning English with Big Grammar Book 2!
Remember: A good understanding of English grammar will open doors to numerous opportunities.

Year 5 Block 1 Termly Wigan Maths Assessment using YouTube and PowerPoint Presentation.
I am now converting all my PowerPoint presentations into YouTube videos PowerPoint Combos. This means teachers can teach the lesson using either the PowerPoint or Youtube version of the lesson and then share the YouTube lesson with their students’ parents. This lesson can then be repeated at home as additional homework.
I love Year 5 Wigan Maths Tests. While they are little old and don’t follow the current curriculum, they are still an excellent set of tests for revision purposes. I have taken the traditional tests and converted them all into PowerPoint presentations. On top of this, I have given teachers the option of either letting the students only see the answers at the end or after each question. I really like the second option as it means I can set a question, then give them a little time to think about it or discuss it in pairs and then show them the answer and discuss the different ways different children or different pairs found their answers. This is as much a learning experience as the test itself for many children. I really hope this pack is useful for lots of teachers.
My first reading pack (/teaching-resource/10-free-reading-posters-for-every-key-stage-2-or-key-stage-3-classroom-download-and-share-today-11173701) has proved to be very popular. I thought I would extend it to also include the Keystage 1 classes. You can also click on the on the little heart on this page to say you like it. Also please leave me a nice comment - it is the nice comments which fuel my motivation to create even more of these fun FREE posters. These posters would be perfect for book week, English Literacy Week, Poetry day or simply as a way of getting children to read more.
Look at the posters and get the children to vote on which posters they find effective. Which were less effective? How could they be improved? I would love to know the students feedback below please!
*Spelling mistake corrected - thanks for the comment below!
These tests are set to change every 5 seconds, letting you test either individual children or a whole class at once. You might like to also look at my matching mini origami books which go with this series (/teaching-resource/mini-book-x2-to-x12-multiplication-times-table-tests-4-per-table-11198350) which are designed to make learning time tables more fun.
There are 4 tests per times table, so the children do not know what test you will give them. They are written in PowerPoint so you can easily edit them or change the speed of the tests.
