1. Choose a reliable tutorial

Use quality grammar manuals, such as Essential Grammar in Use or Grammarway. You can work with them both independently and with a teacher. Textbooks contain understandable explanations and exercises for practice.

 

  1. Determine which topics to focus on.

If you are learning English not from scratch, you probably have a question: what to grab in the first place? We recommend using the Study Guide section in any of the textbooks in the Grammar in Use series. This chapter is a grammar test. Go through it and check your answers at the end of the tutorial. Mark yourself the questions that caused the difficulties: next to them will be indicated the units of the textbook concerning a specific grammatical topic. So, you get a complete list of topics that need to be studied. Take it and study the specified constructions according to the chosen grammar textbook.

 

  1. Pass grammar tests

It is not enough to work out the designs exclusively for the exercises from the manual. To learn English grammar faster, take online tests on different sites. Many different tasks can be found on the sites esl.fis.edu and grammar-monster.

  1. Read articles and books

Read the texts in English, and do it not only silently, but also out loud. This is a good way to see the "live" practical use of English grammar. In addition, when reading, visual memory works (and when reading out loud also auditory), and you will remember correctly constructed phrases.

  1. Write a diary.

A great way to learn to formulate thoughts in English and improve writing is to write a diary in English. Then you can use the EssayRay resource, where native speakers will correct your mistakes.

 

  1. Watch special educational videos.

Wonderful site engvid.com offers you wonderful videos that help to understand the grammar. The undoubted advantage of the resource is an easy presentation of material and explanations of native speakers. If your level is Pre-Intermediate or higher, you can understand the speech in the video. We invite you to watch the video from the super positive Ronnie on how to learn grammar.

 

  1. Work with learning applications

For mobile devices, many applications have been created that will help to study English grammar. Use them so that no free minute is wasted. For example, the Learn English Grammar program for Android or iOS helps to fine-tune grammar and test your knowledge without requiring access to the Internet.

 

  1. Learn video and song grammar

Auditory and visual memory - your main assistants in learning. Do you listen to an English song or watch a video in English? Pay attention to how native speakers use grammar structures. Write out some phrases with articles, prepositions, periodically re-read them. Gradually, the correct use of this or that construction will be stored in your memory. An excellent resource for watching videos and shows - fleex.tv and lyricstraining.

When you watch a TV series or movie try to repeat the phrase for the character with his intonation. So, you will not only train the grammar but also the pronunciation.

 

  1. Identify typical errors.

Your English teacher will identify your typical mistakes and help you eliminate them. In addition, you can independently explore topics that most often make mistakes and get rid of inaccuracies.

 

  1. Use social networks for study.

Subscribe to English-language bloggers, news and watch what you are interested in English.

 

  1. Try non-standard learning methods

You can learn grammar in verses, rhymed wording is easily remembered. Try to learn the irregular verbs of the English language on funny author's rhymes, it's not just easy, but also fun! Now, without hesitation, you will produce the desired verb form in Past Simple or the tenses of the Perfect group.

 

And you can also try to take writing lessons from famous authors. Make it simple: choose an interesting book in English and begin to rewrite it. The lesson is quite monotonous, but you can not only see the grammatical structures but also use them in practice in writing. What is written with a pen is not only not cut down with an ax but is also well stored in memory. By the way, therefore I recommend performing grammar exercises not only in the form of online tests but also to rewrite them in my notebook: this is how mechanical memory comes into play.
