Excel in English: Grammar Puzzles

Excel in English is a fun grammar activity.

What it is

Students learn grammar by doing small puzzles.

• Google Sheets
• Excel
• PDF worksheet

Why it works

Most grammar lessons explain rules first.

This activity is different.

Students learn by doing:

• Change sentences
• Try answers
• See the result right away
• Notice the grammar

Do first. Learn after.

How it works

1. Watch a short video. The teacher shows the puzzle.
2. Try the puzzle yourself.
3. If the answer is correct, the cell turns green.

• Fast feedback
• Clear answer
• Game-like practice

Example

Students change a sentence like this:

He attended the meeting.

To this:

He did attend the meeting.

If it is wrong, students try again.
