HTML/Javascript Sentence Preposition +ing Game Tutorial

HTML/Javascript Sentence Preposition +ing Game Tutorial

The easiest English games to design are those that involve discrete words, because then dictionaries and thesauruses can be used. Learning English (for students whose first language is not English (ESL)) is obviously more useful when the student can piece together sentences, so, here, with today’s tutorial, we piece together sentences where middle joining preposition words combine with -ing verbs in the formation of complete English sentences. Today’s game asks you to fill in the game’s missing prepositions, or ends to sentences, to complete those sentences, and we’ll call the game “The Sentence Preposition +ing Game” (too snappy for you?!) … and you score points for each correct sentence you form (we may not have thought of all sentences you may construct, and if this happens avail yourself of the Complaints Department). It uses English sentences.

Today’s data source is a book called How English Works (A Grammar Practice Book with Answers) by Michael Swan and Catherine Walter. We thank this source for their great sentences on page 196.

This game uses HTML and Javascript programming languages.

Hopefully you can figure the rules when you click the picture above for a live run.

Anyway, see how you go with this testing game!

Here is a link to some downloadable HTML (with Javascript) programming code you could rename to sentenceprepositioning.html
