It's exam week, the time of year when my students' brains turn instantaneously to mush. As always happens, for precisely twenty-two and a half minutes - a period of time which co-incidentally matched the duration of the Cambridge ESOL Speaking and Listening exam almost to the second - any slight recollection of past tense verb forms was forgotten until it was time to switch to the present perfect, modals and prepositions got mixed up, maimed or just omitted altogether, the phrase too much became exactly synonomous with any plural number and pronouns were as easy to spot as an odd sock in a loaded washing machine.
Still, I think they all passed.
