Exam Stress [AGAIN]

I’ve no time to entertain my emotions. Really. With the impending mid-year exams, my classes run from back to back.
I’ve prepared loads of materials to help Hang with his revisions. And to make mugging for exams as interesting as it permits, I searched extensively for interesting websites, especially those with animations and interactive games.
When I could not find the ideal materials, I made them myself! I toiled through the night to compile a list of verbs in the past and present tense. Next, I made flash cards – present tense on one side, past tense on the other. Hang was elated this morning when he saw the flash cards and that encouraged him to memorize most of the irregular verbs.
Grammar drives me up the wall! The rule is these and those but with exceptions of this and that! Why is the comparative of light, light-er while expensive, not expendsiv-ier? So I learnt – Verbs with more than 2 syllables, the comparative and Superlative forms do not follow the convention of adding er, instead, add more and most before the verb. Again, not without exceptions!
I have not paid much attention to Grammar, relying on intuition to scarpe through major exams. Now, I literally have to reserach them, study them and summarize them into digestible bite-size, before teaching Hang. It’s understatement to say I am suffering from exam-stress.
Anyway, I will be uplaoding the resources on my Education blog.
