RESUMO
The approach to grammar teaching has always been a primary concern in language teaching; our task was to find the irregularities that govern a given structure in English (the use of there is/are), and how this structure can be taught in a more communicative way. With this purpose, twelve books were analysed, and their approaches were compared to find differences and similarities. As for the use of There is /are teachers should prepare group work activities, so that students work out the new form in a logical interaction in class. Also, the work in dyads can help them with the language problems that may arise from an individual work in the classroom. The use of objetcs, pictures, persons and other teaching means can provide a more national way of learning grammar(AU)
