The main objective of the course is to introduce the grammatical system of the English language, particularly in the area of the English verb, grammatical categories, the system of tenses, non-finite verb forms and modality. The matter is approached from a functional and communicative point of view.
Students will gain the ability to use a full range of grammar structures appropriately in context. Students will also be able to contrast Czech and English verbal systems, and they improve their competence in teaching these features of the English grammar at schools.
