The last vestige of grammar basic grammar here covers advanced structures comprised of passivity, modality, relative clauses, and phrasal verbs (many of the latter of which are idiomatic). These forms are all quite different but their rules are fixed.
Passive voice presents the greatest problem for students who may struggle with the differences in transitivity between English and their L1, which may or may not require an actor when made passive. As well, this L1 challenge can present itself with defining relative and dependent clauses, which are structurally composed differently according to which L1 the speaker has, and in English are not capable of being deleted if defining, and if dependent require the main clause to be expressed as well.
Phrasal verbs are especially challenging, as most require memorization not only of their transitivity, but also which category they belong to as separable or inseparable, which is often difficult to tell at first glance. Word lists may be necessary for classes that struggle with them, and supportive attitudes from the teachers they have are key to helping them not fear such compound structure.
