Grammar is essentially the backbone of a language. It’s important to know that proper grammar is necessary for flawless communication.
No matter how long you've been learning, you can always brush up your grammar skills. Here are some quick tips to help you improve your English grammar skills.
- Make a commitment. Learning English grammar needs self-motivation. Once you start studying, stick by it until the end.
- Carry a basic grammar book. Having an English grammar book allows us to revise what we have forgotten, as well as force us to learn grammar as often as we can.
- Know the parts of speech. These are the types of words that make up the language, and they are nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections, and sometimes articles. You must know what the parts of speech are and how they are used.
- Read regularly. It's true that leaders are readers. Reading in English is a great way to get an idea of the different styles of sentence structures and see how to use words appropriately.
- Read children’s books. Children’s books are the best resource to learn the basics of language, including fundamental words and spelling, regular and irregular nouns and verbs, and sentence structure.
- Try reading aloud so that you also get an idea of how the language sounds in conversation. Read newspapers, listen to podcasts, and watch televised news programs daily as well.
- Choose books or articles with topics that interest you the most. Learning shouldn’t be boring. Read each text several times to make sure you understand how to use new words and expressions in the text.
- Keep a notebook for registering new words. Every day, everywhere, you will see new words. When you write them down, you have a record of them that you can use again. Set a target for yourself to learn and use 10 or 15 new words every day.
Grammar is essentially the backbone of a language. Proper grammar is necessary for flawless communication. - Learn a new word along with its all the forms (Ist form, IInd form, IIIrd form), meaning and the prepositions that are usually used with it. (For example, rather than just the word ‘depend’, make a note of: to depend on, to be dependent on, a dependant.)
- Listen in English. Remember, we can learn English all day, every day by looking at and listening to what is happening around us. Keep your mind, ears and eyes open and you will be amazed how much English, you will pick up.
- Try and communicate in English with the people around, whenever you have an opportunity. The more time you spend practicing conversational English with your colleagues and friends, the better you would start understanding grammar rules.
- Pay close attention to how other speakers talk. Listen to how other people construct sentences, where they place words in sentences, how they say common phrases, and the vocabulary they use.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you have any. Try parroting what other people say by repeating it in order to understand how sentences are formed and to expand your vocabulary.
- Write at least one to two paragraphs (on any topic of your choice) in English. One simple way to practice writing is posting your Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter status in English, leaving English comments, replies instead of in your mother tongue.
- Seek every opportunity in your daily activities to practice these skills. Remember,
"The more you practice the better you’ll be,
the harder you train the great in you they’ll see."
