Tips For Learning and Improving Your Grammar

  1. Read more: For mastering the language you must make reading it a daily ritual. You can read newspapers, blogs, or magazines. The more you read, the more you learn.
  2. Grammar book: Keep a grammar book at your disposal. This way you can refer to the rules at any time and check your mistakes.
  3. Back to basics: Even if you know a topic, revisit it. Some of the rules might have possibly slipped your mind.
  4. Practice: As the saying goes, practice makes a man perfect. Exercise grammatical problems daily for getting a hang of all the rules.
  5. Listen: Be a good listener to everyone around you, especially your teachers or someone who knows the language by heart. It automatically feeds your subconscious mind with the rules.
  6. Films/theatre: Who says learning has to be boring? Watch films and/or attend theatres in English from your favourite genre, and don't forget to keep the subtitles on. You can even watch the shows in your native language with English subtitles to catch up on minute details.
  7. Communicate: Try to communicate with those around you in English. It'll also build up your confidence.
  8. Write: Write any piece, be it small or big, in English daily. One simple way to practice writing is posting your Instagram, Facebook or Twitter status in English, leaving English comments, replies instead of in your mother tongue.
