ABSTRACT

As you approach this chapter, imagine the following scenario: A colleague approaches you in the staff lounge. “Say” the colleague begins, “I don’t want to complain, but how long will it take your ESL kids to learn the difference between ‘lie’ and ‘lay’ or ‘between you and I’ and ‘between you and me?’ Don’t you people explain what proper grammar is?” How many replies are there to this colleague?
