How To Learn English Grammar

Catherine Said:

I need to learn English grammar?

We Answered:

I was trying to learn Japanese from the Japanese for Dummies book too and it made me more confused as well.

Why exactly to you need to learn English grammar? Unless you translated your text from another language, you have good grammar already. Unless you want to teach English as a career or something?

If you are learning English as another language I know a really good website that can help you HEAPS!

how can i learn Grammar and Writing in english?

We Answered:

Actually, broadening/improving one's language skills is a very broad concept, it should be done in more than one ways at the same time which is highly recommended. One can NOT become better ONLY in one area e.g. writing or grammar, one MUST improve skills in ALL dimensions of the language!

Learning language well requires being as active as possible and making the learning as FUN for oneself as possible. Taking lessons is always important, but equally important are these:

1) Listen/watch: Keep listening to internet radio stations like BBC, watch TV shows in English (use only subtitles, NOT voice dubbing in case you are not a native English speaker!), etc.

2) Write/communicate: Try to find discussion forums from the web about things that you find interesting and FUN (music/various artists, hobbies, etc.) and start communicating there with other people using only English. Start using instant messaging systems in case you find some new friends or start emailing them.

3) Buy yourself a proper dictionary, and each time when you see a strange word that you do not understand, look it up. Putting words into their CONTEXT is one of the best ways to broaden one's vocabulary and grammar knowledge, the more you read and write the better. Memorising is NOT the best way to go with learning vocabulary, grammar or any other language areas!

The main point in ANY language learning is to make it as fun as possible for yourself. Try to find topics that INTEREST you, read online newspapers (Times, Guardian, Independent...), listen to BBC/NBC and other radio stations online, if you find a discussion forum for e.g. your favourite hobby or your idols in music do participate there, etc. The key word here is CONTEXT, which means that it is easier to learn new words and their usage as well as grammar when you use/see them in their real CONTEXT. The more you see and hear the new words in their context and the more you use them in your speech & writing, the easier it becomes to remember their meanings and correct spelling.

I'm sorry there is no easy way out with this, one really must develop language skills in ALL these language "levels" or dimensions in order to reach better language skills!!

Last but not least: NEVER EVER use ANY online translators, they are nothing but utter rubbish!! English is practically EVERYWHERE in the online world these days, you just have to use your imagination to find it! Learning pace is always personal, it takes the time it takes so there is no reason to hurry it up too much. If you do, you will not learn so well. Also, please learn the basics of the standard English first before advancing to finer details like dialects/accents.

Good luck!

How to learn English Grammar in shortest time?

We Answered:

You can start with the parts of the speech: noun, article, pronouns , etc..When you become familiar about them, you can make exercises, by doing sentences and easy grammar analysis, by identifying each part in the sentence; one of the most important in english grammar are the verbs, that are the heart of the sentence; when you feel that u know very well the parts of the speech,u can begin doing small compositions, by following all these steps u can master english grammar in a short time..Good luck in your endeavors

Diane Said:

Can you give me a link on how to easily learn English Grammar?

We Answered:

Hi A, I was given a couple of books by my Uncle as a youngster. Maybe you can track copies down? The books explain easily the different terminology i.e., a group of owls is a 'parliament' etc.

They explain Adjectives, Adverb, Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs (past, present tense & past participles) Pronouns, Prepositions, Conjunctions, etc. How to change singular words into plurals. They helped me immensely whilst learning the correct use of the English language.

There are also little 'exercises' in the book/s for you to complete.

BTW the college is a good idea, but for conversation purposes getting together with classmates & picking a topic over a coffee (only to be discussed in English will further enhance yr goal). No pressure on you either, also if there is something said that isn't quite comprehended make a mental note & check with yr lecturer. Take care to all. Godbless
