However, to take one example, No 5. Whilst that statement is not totally grammatically correct, it is easy to understand the meaning, the context of what Turnoi said.

Ahh, but you didn't ask about context, did you? You asked for examples that showed he wasn't an expert in English and I gave them.

Context can be inferred from somebody saying "Me hungry. Give food." it doesn't make them an expert of the English language!

By the way, I think you didn't read my post properly, as I believe I said 'mainly speaking', going from what you had previously said about sometimes including anagrams in your classes.

I take it, being semi-retired, you haven't had time to check out a CAE exam either? Although I would have thought somebody who was semi-retired had more free time. Ah well.

If you honestly don't think teaching grammar is important, I have nothing more to say to you. Grammar is the foundation of any language and teaching the use of it is the bones of real language teaching.
