Let's Learn Fun Grammar with Movies!

3. Pay Attention to the Use of Tenses

• While watching, look out for how different tenses (present, past, future, present tense, present perfect, etc.) are used in conversation.
• Try to mimic how the characters in the movie say sentences with certain tenses.
• For example, look at how the characters in the movie use the present continuous tense when talking about something that is happening right now, as in the sentence, “I'm going to class.”

4. Repeat Interesting Sentences

• After watching some parts of the movie, try repeating dialog from the characters to practice pronunciation and sentence structure.
• Repeat several times until you feel comfortable with the way the sentence is pronounced.

5. Rewatch with a Focus on Specific Grammar

After watching once, rewatch the movie or a particular scene with a focus on the type of grammar you want to learn more about.

6. Watch Movies of Different Genres

Watching different types of movies will give you a broader understanding of how grammar is used in different contexts. For example, in a comedy movie, you will probably hear more informal language and slang, whereas in a drama or business movie, you will find more formal conversations.

Learning grammar doesn't have to be boring! By watching movies, you can make learning fun and practical. So, next time you watch a movie, pay attention to the grammar used by the characters and see how much you can learn while being entertained.
