Following grammar rules in studying English grammar is not absolutely true
Consider linguistics, grammar is defined as a system of a language. Sometimes people describe grammar as a rule of a language.
This is not absolutely true because grammar doesn’t have rules.
Why? Because the word “Rule” is the thing which is named by someone firstly, then it is used popularly, it’s like a game or a competition.
Language is not like that. Language exists by the pronunciation of human (make sounds to fellow human), then connect sounds becoming words, phrases, sentences.
On the other hand, language exists when humans don’t have rules to speak. Language is not fixed and always change with time. What we call grammar, actually it’s just a reflection of a language in a particular historical moment.
Do we need to study grammar to communicate in English?
The answer is No!
Many people who go abroad for studying, work can use English to communicate for a long time without knowing grammar. Children have the ability to speak, communicate, even before they can pronounce the word “Grammar”.
But on the other side, if you want to study English logically, I’m gonna tell you that “Grammar will help you study English much faster and more effectively”.
The important thing is we consider grammar as a useful thing which can help us, consider grammar as a fellow efficient friend. Once you’ve got grammar (or understand the system of language), you can easily learn more many things without going to a training English center or an English chat room.
Therefore, think positively about grammar! Consider it as a map, the thing you can use by yourself.
In order to study English grammar effectively
Many people said that studying English grammar is very boring with over rules that are difficult to remember, easy to forget. Share with you some manners of studying English grammar as follows:
– Study rules
Example: Study how to create and how to use the present perfect tense
– Apply grammar in a real situation
Example: Try writing a short conversation including 4-5 sentences, using present perfect tense. Then add a funny context to practice until becoming skillful.
– Don’t forget that English grammar has quite many things which are exceptional. When you catch an exceptional thing, you need to take note carefully, compare it with rules which you can remember.
Example: The rule: Don’t use the article “The” put in front of name of a country, but have to say: The United States, the United Kingdom to indicate America and Britain.
– Practice frequently. Just spend a little time studying grammar so that you can get used to rules or how to use rules of grammar that you learned.
Example: past tense of irregular verbs. You can make a purpose for you that is every day you make short sentences with 5 irregular verbs inside.
Surrounding you there are many actual contexts to apply effectively all rules of English chat grammar. So what are you waiting for?!
