Didn't See it Coming

I never thought I'd admit this. But I miss grammar.

I miss teaching it. I miss explaining--and reading up on--things such as conditionals, modal verbs, and the present progressive tense.

Yes, I'm an ESL teacher. But my current focus is on basic literacy skills.

Thus, feeling out of the loop, I've started doing the exercises found @ this site. I've also started pouring over Grammar for English Language Teachers (by Martin Parrott, Cambridge University Press) and Understanding and Using English Grammar.

Yes, I do it on purpose. Yes, in my spare time.

Why?

Because I'm nerdy like that--that's why.
