 More Tips for Improving Your English Grammar

readThere are many ways to improve your grammar in the English language and you may just like more to add on your list.

  • Find a pen pal whose native language is English. A pen pal you can write to with snail mail, or email in English is elemental in improving your language skills. Interacting with a person makes a huge difference in improving your English grammar that is why it is helpful to find a native English speaker to be your pen pal. You will be able to learn conversational English from your pen pal and may have some tips in grammar and vocabulary. You may also try language exchange, you learn English while your pen pal learns your native tongue; that would be very beneficial to reciprocate each other’s language learning needs.
  • Study your native language’s grammar. Studying your own native language’s grammar will help you to understand English grammar better. The grammar rules in your language may not be exactly the same as English language grammar rules but having the ability to understand how grammar works in your language can help in understanding grammar in any language. It will be easier to become familiar with grammatical concepts in your native language then applying them to English rather than becoming shocked with everything about grammar at once.
  • Ask questions. If you already have a pen pal, ask questions about things you don’t know but then don’t overdo it. You can also try asking grammar questions in English forums on the internet and interact with English speakers and enthusiasts who are willing to share their knowledge about the language.
  • Read. Reading works of literature in English especially fiction will help you a lot in getting your brain to think in English. Reading will help you to learn grammar inductively and reading fiction will allow you to follow the flow of a story and keep your English learning journey interesting.
  • Learn Diagramming Sentences. After having a fair grasp on English vocabulary, learning how to diagram sentences can be beneficial in learning English grammar.

 Writing Good English

Writing Good EnglishTo be able to write good English is essential for a lot of reasons. If we cannot fully deliver in words whatever we wish to say, we write it down. If we cannot voice out our feelings in the simplest way, we write it down just the same. And whether you believe it or not, words and feelings are best expressed when written. It’s because when we write we have more time and space to think thoroughly, than when we speak. The only odd circumstance of speaking is that sometimes it does not permit us to withdraw what we have said. As far as the organization of thoughts or ideas is concerned, writing is better than speaking. And since it is so, you might as well write the best way you can to be understood completely. I have researched some important concepts when writing, they should guide you better.

  • Clear organization. This concerns the idea/information you are trying to communicate. Write in a continuous flow that your readers can follow. Your introduction should provide the general/main idea. Your body will form the detailed development. And your conclusion should give the neutral assessment, if not your personal evaluation or critical thinking on the subject of matter.
  • Correct Grammar. Writing and Speaking are relatively the same. Picture someone speaking confidently in front of a crowd yet verbalizing the wrong pronunciations, some audience are quick to pick that up and may find the player a laughing stock. This is just the same with writing. You may have great ideas to share, but if you can’t speak the correct words on paper, some readers may judge you down easily, and conclude that you can’t be that good as far as the grammatical errors of your story show.
  • Use simple words. Some people think that using complex words may give the ‘impression’. On top of conveying the relevant issue of what they have to say, they also want to display how far they’ve gone across the knowledge sphere. The majority of people in this planet have average minds. We all think normal, on the positive side. Even bright ones are only slightly disparate. So write in order to be understood. Your readers make the call anyway. If their opinions turn you down, it doesn’t hurt not knowing you are ignored, otherwise they’ll tell you so and you take it as constructive criticism. Learn from it.

There are actually countless tips on writing good English. I have shared here the basic concepts not centered on correct grammar and vocabulary, but writing good English to communicate. English is more than just a language to study and learn, it is a medium to connect.

It doesn't matter if we're a little girl just starting to master the ABC's, or a post graduate student proofreading a thesis.
