Right! Time to roll our sleeves up and learn something about verb patterns! Well actually, one never
leaves this until death and does some work on verb patterns  during the year, but the truth is, few students pay too much attention to this aspect of the English language. Anyway, we’re working on it right now, so, here’s an opportunity to do some grammar. Here you have a short grammar quiz where I’ve used gifs from the Harry Potter saga. In the near future, I’ll be posting some other quizzes, but for the time being, this is more than enough.
