Personal pronouns - "I" vs "YOU"
Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2016 11:18 am
How to teach personal pronouns "I" and "you". One of my students (a student I tutor one-on-one) struggles with the concept of you and I. I've never found any trouble teaching this, I usually just point at myself and the student and they "get it", but this student (who has some learning difficulties) has trouble with this. I've given him the word in his native language, pointed to him and me saying sentences but I still struggle with situations like this:
I will point to myself and say "I am", then point to him and say "You are", but he keeps saying "You are... " to talk about himself... I often just correct him and try to explain the rule (in his language) and he replies correctly at first, but he still has problems with this.
