In order to enable learners to analyze and internalize language rules, EFL teachers might devise a number of do-it-yourself strategies whose purpose is to raise learners' awareness of important features and help them construct their own grammar from personal exploration tasks. Such strategies might work well for teaching the past perfect in English, which is found to be particularly students.</p>
