Note cards are great tools not only because they provide relevant information in a concise way, but also because you can use them in all sorts of places (e.g., on a train or plane, waiting on line at the bank, or over a latte at your favorite coffee shop).
The amount of information you include on a note card and its organization is likely to depend on:
- the complexity of the grammar form in question,
- the information of concern – e.g., an alert about a confusing point or an explanation as to what makes some grammatical form difficult,
- personal preference as to how best to deal with grammar forms, and
- knowledge of {dialect variation} and {pragmatics}
