Overcome difficulties grammar of English learning
Hello,
One of the greatest difficulties of English learning is making correctly a phrase without thinking grammar rules.
Speaking is real. You do not have any time to thinking about what rule is right. I think that there is many exceptions in grammar rules in English. That is why it is too difficult for a beginner to implement all this rules in his speaking.
How do you overcome this difficulties ?
Today, I will tempt to give some advice about this subject. However, in my opinion, you do not search for perfection. You can become fluent and make grammar mistakes. The search for perfection is bound to lead to failure.
One of the solution is to seek out reactive words. What do I mean by "reactive words" ? A "reactive word" is a word which triggers a reaction forward other words. To cite an example : when I say "listen" music, you must say "I listen to music". There is always the "to".
An other instance regarding tense. There is a lot of words to give us a clue what tense you'd use.
For example : "since" ; If you say I have been living in London since 1998. It doesn't work in French. In French you say I live in London since 1998. It is fundamentally illogical in French. That is why it is too difficult. Whereas, in English it works. There is no rules, no exceptions but it do so, when you say "since" you use this tense.
In conclusion, if you have trouble with articles or tenses seek out them. Use the same method.
That is what I do because I am bored to memorizing all grammar rules and exceptions in English.
