영어 문법의 다양한 부분 중에서도 분배법(Distributives)은 특히 말하기와 글쓰기에서 중요한 역할을 합니다. “each,” “every,” “either,” “neither”와 같은 분배 대명사와 “all,” “both,” “half” 등의 분배 형용사는 개별적으로 혹은 그룹으로 무언가를 나누어 언급할 때 사용됩니다. 예를 들어, “each student”는 학생들이 각자 개별적으로 언급됨을 의미하며, “both books”은 두 권의 책이 함께 언급됨을 알려줍니다.
본 연습은 학생들이 분배법을 사용하여 문장을 적절하게 완성할 수 있도록 설계되었습니다. 각 문장에는 분배법에 해당하는 단어가 누락되어 있으며, 학생들은 괄호 속의 단서를 통해 올바른 단어를 찾아 채워넣어야 합니다. 이 연습을 통해 학생들은 분배법을 이해하고, 올바르게 사용하는 능력을 향상시킬 수 있을 것입니다.
