Grammatica/Common mistakes/exam

Molti sostengono che la grammatica inglese è facile e semplice, questo però non è del tutto vero.
Certamente si può dire che la grammatica inglese è lineare e con poche varianti o eccezioni, le regole basilari non sono complicate e non sono presenti declinazioni o coniugazioni articolate come in molte altre lingue.
Purtroppo proprio a causa di questa semplicità molti si limitano a studiare le regole in modo superficiale, con la conseguenza di dimenticarle velocemente o non saperle utilizzare mentre si scrive o si parla inglese.
L’unico modo per far sedimentare la grammatica e renderla davvero nostra è fare molti esercizi in inglese.
Di seguito troverete due facili esercizi sulla grammatica inglese, perfetti per mantenere allenate le vostre conoscenze.
