Period 4 Grammar and Usage The General Idea of This Period: In this period, we’ll learn the usage of the ellipsis and then deal with two exercises to consolidate what we have learnt. Teaching Aim:

Introduce the ellipsis. Teaching Important Point: The basic usage of the ellipsis and learn to use it in different situations. Teaching Difficult Point: How to help the students learn when to use ellipsis and how to use it correctly. Teaching Methods: Teaching and practicing. Individual or pair work. Teaching Aid: Multimedia. Teaching procedures: Step1: Introduction to ellipsis Ellipsis means leaving out words of a sentence when the meaning can still

be understood. Ellipsis is used when you do not want to repeat words or phrases that are obvious. You’re to learn when to use ellipsis and how to use it correctly. Step 2: Presentation

Sentences on the blackboard — How is your cousin today? —

(She is )Much better. (You) Open the the window, please! (It) Sounds fine to me. (It is a ) Pity our teacher couldn’t come.

(Is there) Anything wrong? (Have you) Found your pencil?

Read these sentences and point put the words that have been left out in each sentence. Step 3: Instructions 1. Go over Part 1& Part 2 Ellipsis is often used in imperative sentences, in short responses, in infinitive phrases and in informal English. Ellipsis is also used after hence, some prepositions or than. You should pay attention to the case in which ellipsis is used when two clauses with the same pattern and the same verb are used in a sentence. Read the examples in Point 2 and get to know that in some special styles, words are left out just to save space and time. When it comes to signs and labels, newspaper headlines, instructions, postcards, diaries and notes, ellipsis is often used. 2. More examples What about some more coffee (for you)? Why (do you) get so upset? (It is/was a) Pity you didn’t get the chance.
