that site has a great many uses,
it is, for example, very revealling about syntax and a good way of building grammaskills, especailly good for ppl studying the history of language ...

start by locating the Shakespeare bit, and where it opens with an option to

you can start to sentence building,

Ask the students to GUESS what the next group of words will be before you click on your option, say starting with "the" you would predict nouns as the main word class to follow...

when you click "the" the page present you with all the main options leading on from quotations. In this case you DO see mostly nouns, but click an "odd" one - in this case "like" is offered and you find yourself with this sentence

"The like of him" which seems interesting to me!

then you can discuss how else the word
"The like ... " might continue

e.g "the like do you: so shall we pass" and you can locate them in their context in the play if the meaning seems elusive!

brilliant!
