But I don't want to teach this explicitly. I'd rather perfer that beginners learn this implicitly or "intuitively". How? Well, by showing them properly formed sentences, by having them repeat and use them. They will "get used" to the grammar and be able to from and understand sentences. This is now kids learn their native language. Without any explicit grammar training and without knowing any grammar terms. I think this whould work for adults, too. At least for beginner. Martin
