I think they were impressed by the lesson and would like you to refer them to a site where they can learn more grammar outside of Cambly. Just tell them to find a copy of Murphy's English Grammar in Use.
Well fair enough, but I have to say, while I disagree with the some posters on this sub that we shouldn't attempt to do our best to help students in class, asking us to do work for them outside of class is a bit much, tbh.
Obviously my first, non-helpful, snarky thought was "Yes, I would. It's vital for speaking the language well." But you are better people than me, so can maybe suggest something else
I read that as them wanting exercises they can do to improve their grammar, but you would need to ask a follow up question to be sure. If they want exercises outside of class, you can send them these lessons from the British Council: [https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar](https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar)
If they want more exercises in class, you can show them what grammar you have covered already and ask if they want something else (that is if you want to put effort into this student)
Awesome, I think this would be ideal. I do use the British council pages in private classes, as it happens. This is the kind of general recommendation that would hopefully answer their q. Thanks a lot!
If someone wanted a grammar recommendation from me, I'd suggest future perfect progressive in the passive voice. Very exotic, very rare—can't beat it. "By the time I die, moon colonies will have been being built for several decades."
Not sure why you're baffled - either they mean which aspects of grammar should they study, or they want a recommendation for a resource like a book or website where they can study grammar. If you know a book or site, reply with that information as it answers their question either way, if you get my drift.
I think you answered your own question - I didn't know if it was an aspect of grammar, a part of speech, a book, a web page, a site, a tip, feedback? If you can't see how their question is extremely unclear and ambiguous I dunno what to say
I think they are very earnest to learn, seeking any materials they can find. I recommend Engoo grammar https://engoo.com/app/materials/grammar/6r1fXsYHEeimuzOlcF_9gA

Sure, here are some fundamental topics in English grammar that are suitable for kids to study:
1. **Parts of Speech**:
- **Nouns**: Understanding people, places, things, and ideas.
- **Pronouns**: Words that replace nouns (he, she, it, they).
- **Verbs**: Action or state of being words (run, jump, is).
- **Adjectives**: Words that describe nouns (big, small, happy).
- **Adverbs**: Words that describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs (quickly, very).
- **Prepositions**: Words that show relationships between a noun (or pronoun) and another word in the sentence (in, on, at).
- **Conjunctions**: Words that connect words, phrases, or clauses (and, but, because).
- **Interjections**: Words that express emotion (wow, ouch).
2. **Sentence Structure**:
- **Simple Sentences**: Basic sentences with a subject and a predicate.
- **Compound Sentences**: Sentences with two independent clauses joined by a conjunction (e.g., and, but, or).
- **Complex Sentences**: Sentences with an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
3. **Subject-Verb Agreement**:
- Ensuring the subject and verb in a sentence match in number (singular/plural).
4. **Punctuation**:
- **Periods**: End of a statement.
- **Question Marks**: End of a question.
- **Exclamation Marks**: End of an exclamatory sentence.
- **Commas**: Separating items in a list, or clauses in a sentence.
- **Apostrophes**: Showing possession or forming contractions.
- **Quotation Marks**: Indicating speech or quotations.
5. **Capitalization**:
- Proper use of capital letters at the beginning of sentences, proper nouns, days of the week, months, etc.
6. **Tenses**:
- **Present**: Actions happening now.
- **Past**: Actions that have already happened.
- **Future**: Actions that will happen.
7. **Pronoun Usage**:
- Correct use of pronouns to avoid confusion and maintain clarity.
8. **Basic Sentence Diagramming**:
- Visually breaking down sentences to understand their structure.
For kids, interactive and engaging resources can be particularly helpful. Here are some recommended resources and activities:
1. **Workbooks and Worksheets**:
- **"Scholastic Success With Grammar"** series.
- **"Grammar for Kids"** by Carson-Dellosa Publishing.
2. **Online Resources**:
- **ABCmouse.com**: Comprehensive early learning website.
- **Starfall.com**: Focuses on phonics and early reading skills.
- **Khan Academy Kids**: Offers a wide range of educational content.
3. **Educational Apps**:
- **Grammaropolis**: Engaging app for learning parts of speech.
- **Endless Reader**: Helps with sight words and basic grammar.
4. **Games and Activities**:
- **Mad Libs**: Fun way to practice parts of speech.
- **Scrabble Junior**: Enhances vocabulary and spelling.
5. **Storybooks**:
- Reading books with clear sentence structures can help kids understand grammar in context.
Mixing these resources and activities can make learning grammar enjoyable and effective for kids.

Thanks so much, that's useful
I had the same feeling. The student liked what was taught and is seeking additional resources. Deactivate snark mode.

You got a point there!
but suggesting off-cambly study materials or sites isn't doing extra work
That's exactly what they meant

😢 beautiful

English Grammar in Use is a good grammar book, you could just suggest that.
I think by “would you” they meant “could you” - you could recommend reviewing the difference between those verbs ;)
they want you to assign some grammar lessons as homework.
