Dear Derick,
On the fifth day of Week 6, here are some effective ways to learn vocabulary and grammar:
Vocabulary Learning
- Vocabulary Flashcards: Create flashcards for each new word with the word on one side and its meaning, pronunciation, and an example sentence on the other side. Review these flashcards regularly[5].
- Written Repetition: Write each new word 10-15 times. This helps you remember the spelling and pronunciation of the words. Saying the words out loud as you write them can also help commit them to memory[4].
- Vocabulary Games: Play vocabulary games to review the words you’ve learned. Games make learning fun and engaging, which can help you remember the words better[1].
Grammar Learning
- Grammar Exercises: Continue practicing the past perfect and future perfect tenses through exercises. This could include fill-in-the-blank activities or sentence transformation exercises[5].
- Practical Application: Use the grammar points in speaking or writing. For example, describe past experiences using the past perfect tense and narrate future events using the future perfect tense[5].
- Review: Review the grammar rules and structures you’ve learned. Revisit your notes and practice sentences to reinforce your understanding[5].
Remember, the key to effective learning is consistency and practice. Review the vocabulary words and grammar points several times throughout the day to help you remember them[1][5].
On the fourth day of Week 6, here are the new words and grammar points you should focus on:

For each word, understand its meaning, pronunciation, and usage in a sentence. You can use the context clues provided in the sentences from the vocabulary list[5] to understand how each word is used.
Grammar Learning
On the fourth day, continue with the future perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an action that will have been completed at some point in the future[2][3]. Practice constructing sentences using this tense, such as “I will have learned 60 new words by the end of this week.”
Also, introduce the future perfect continuous tense. This tense is used to describe an action that will begin in the future and is expected to continue until some time in the future[2][3]. Practice constructing sentences using this tense, such as “By the end of this year, I will have been studying English for 12 months.”
Remember to review these words and the grammar point several times throughout the day to help you remember them.
Best, Judy
