You'll get confused and frustrated. Once you have mastered the verbals, the eight other constructions are a relative snap. Having read one of my articles about the KISS Approach, one teacher claimed that she could see no difference between this approach and traditional grammar. To explore this difference, we can briefly review one set of exercises. Each set is based on either a complete work, or a passage from a longer work.
Participants use that passage over and over again as the exercise for the set.
Our sample passage consists of 73 words, nine of which are in prepositional phrases. As presented on this site, the KISS Approach assumes basic familiarity with adjectives and adverbs. I have, however, supplied a supplementary answer key for each exercise which teachers can use either to study adjectives and adverbs, or to see how an understanding of them moves students toward their goal. In our sample, twelve additional words are adjectives or adverbs. Participants should work on different passages in Level One until prepositional phrases have been mastered.
