Grammar review

Before learners choose, ask them what follows the gap: a noun phrase or -ing form, or a full clause with its own subject and verb. In several clause items the clause starts with a noun, which can look like the object of a preposition. Wrong options also include an extra of, a missing s and a comma after a preposition.
