this is a case, the teacher has limited power to promote the enjoyment of grammar. 
That is why it belongs to tutors how to teach them.
When we speak about teachers, we can say that every teacher should know 
how to give instructions. It is especially necessary during grammar lessons. From 
our point of view, the best activity in the world is a waste of time if the students do 
not understand what it is they are supposed to do. Instructions, which teacher gives 
students, must be kept as simple as possible and they must be logical. Before 
giving instructions, the teacher should ask himself the following question: ―What is 
the important information we are trying to convey and what information do they 
need first?‖
While teaching grammar, teachers ought to use various kinds of interactive 
methods.
―One of the older forms of teaching grammar, diagramming sentences, first 
appeared in the 19
th
century. This method involves visually mapping the structures 
and relationships between different aspects of a sentence. It is especially helpful for 
visual learners." 
Here we can observe that over the years, many methods have been 
developed for teaching grammar and have been built upon with the same goal in 
mind 
–teaching students, how to communicate effectively and understand how to 
use English language. Because of the grammatical complexity of English, each 
method has its own pros and cons. We can say that, some lessons are less likely to 
be remembered, while others may require more in-depth explanation and practice. 
Regardless of how grammar is taught, a well-rounded understanding of English 
grammar is the most important factor in improving the literacy of students. 
Let us look through some of the games and activities on teaching grammar. 
Another interactive game is named ―Action‖. When teacher sees his students 
daydreaming, not paying attention or simply bored, the teacher should tell them to 
get up and form a circle. As for us, we also tried this interactive method at our 
lesson. At that time, we were conducting 8-grade pupils and noticed that there was 
some boredom among pupils. Then we had decided to try this activity. To tell the 
truth, it influenced on our lesson very well. Therefore, it is really helpful and effective 
one. These simple exercises are of great importance to teach numerous grammar 
points. 
Here the teacher should ask his students to practice the simple past or 
regular and irregular verbs, then grab a small ball or bag and says a verb out loudly, 
toss the ball to a student who will have to say its past form. He or she tosses the 
ball back to the teacher and he chooses another student. Whenever a student 
makes a mistake, he or she has to leave the circle. The last student left standing 
gets reward sticker or other prize.
Besides that, we have created one activity for English language 
learners.This activity works great with beginners, including small children. The tutor 
has to cut up a list of several 
words that either take ‗‗past simple tense‘‘ or ‗‗past 
perfect tense ‗‗or mix them up. This especially can work well after the teacher has 
explained the theme ―Tenses in English‖. For very young learners, he – the teacher 
may use pictures instead of words. The teacher should divide pupils into pairs of 
groups and have them put the words in two piles, depending on the article or any 
type of grammar theme, which he has explained. At the time when the pupils have
