Okay, here’s how to proceed. First off, remember the thumb rule – Communication. The person who is keen to learn the nuances of the language should know that their writing should be correct grammatically.

Several word processing tools are equipped with programs for grammar correction, although since the rules governing the language are miscellaneous, there are actually a few programs that identify the grammatical errors. Moreover, if the program identifies the mistake, it cannot suggest solutions as that requires knowing about the intention of the author. Hence, it is best that the tool for grammar correction should not be automatic, but manual.

Practice reading aloud. Remember that the basis of any language is oral. Kids learn to speak before learning to read. This makes some people understand and identify errors in the language when heard, rather than when they are read. Reading makes the mind agile to pick up problems such as misspelled words, typographic errors, and spelling errors, quickly and effortlessly, which the consci... Read more...

Grammar is very important for a profound reflection of any thought which is better for a reader or a listener.

In English grammar, you have to know about how you want to put the word into the sentence for a correct construction. In order to construct a sentence correctly you have to know how to use the word and when to use the word. ‘Some’ and ‘Any’ are quantifiers.

When do we use ‘Some’ and ‘Any’?

We use ‘Some’ and ‘Any’ when we do not know the amount or the quantity of something.

Example of Use of ‘Some’ and ‘Any’

  • I saw 7 deer when I moved deep into the jungle with my fellow travelers.

Here we know the number of deer that we saw when we were moving into the jungle. So we do not use ‘Some’ or ‘Any’.

It is vital to know English grammar quite efficiently without which you are no where. Now English grammar is a vast thing. It is very hard to assimilate it within a short life span. Still you are to learn at least the basics of it so that you can have a bit mastery over the language.

In the school a little grammar is taught. But that little learning reinforces the base of the future learning. The rules that are taught at the very initial period are all elementary rules and offer you the grip of the language in a solid way as a result of which you can easily adopt the fundamental skills of reading and writing.  If the elementary grammar is not taught in the schools you may not be able to lean the ABC of English grammar. As an obvious result you have no other way than to stumble at every step.

In the very beginning you have to learn the parts of speech that are called the foundation stones of English grammar. Elementary English start... Read more...

You have follow some basic rules of grammar to have an idea how o use these words correctly. All these are basic rules, still without bothering these mean to show lethargy to learn grammar in the true sense of the term. Now I would try to discuss with the two simple words ‘ which’ and ‘ that’. From the outward view they seem of less importance but when you are going to use them you have to be a bit cautioned.

You perhaps have an idea that ‘which’ and ‘ that’ are regarded as relative pronouns. Relative pronoun means the word that helps to relate it to a noun that proceeds in a particular sentence. Now let us elaborate. In the following sentence “The pen that I bought yesterday is stolen” In this particular sentence, the relative pronoun ‘that’ hints at the ‘noun’, the ‘pen’.

Now comes the question of restrictive clause’. What is it? Actually if we follow the first sentence “The pen t... Read more...

Same is he case with good writers. Avoiding some simple mistakes will make you a better writer than you are today. In case you are a copy writer or an avid blog writer then you may not have to worry so much about grammar and its common mistakes. Here the way of writing is informal wherein the write up looks more like a conversation than an article. However when you are into serious writing like that of a book or writing content for any website or just a writer in newspaper writing; then each day you must strive to become a better writer.

Avoid Common Mistakes to become a Better Writer:

The following is a list of the most common mistakes that prevent you from becoming a better writer:

You know actually there is the reference of eight Parts of Speech in English grammar, may be I am a little off my head. But it is actually so what I am telling you. There are six common Parts of Speech with their special characteristics. These six are Noun/Pronoun, Adjective, Verb, Adverb, Conjunction and finally Preposition/Interjection. Now let us have a glimpse of the features of these six.

    Noun/Pronoun

    We generally know that Noun is such a word that is used to give a name to a person or a thing. Watch this example minutely.

    Brett saw a dog on the road.

    In this sentence Brett is the name of a man. It is the dog that is the name of an animal. Road is the name of a place. Hence we can easily say that Brett, dog and road are nouns.

    Again Noun is classified into five different kinds. They are -

    1) Proper noun

    2) Common Noun

    3) Collective Noun

    4) Material Noun

    5) Abstract Noun

    A Proper Noun denotes an individual in pa... Read more...

You may try a lot in the realms of it but at every moment the thing that would pain you is your incompetence that you know a little. It is actually so. If you want to grasp English grammar you must have many things at your finger tips. If you fail to grasp them your aim to be a good English writer would remain nothing but a shattered dream.

    There are many things you have to know about English grammar. If you are an ESL you have to know more. There are so many rules in the vast realm of English grammar that it is quite impossible for a human being to grasp all at a time. But you have to know at least some basic rules without which you are nothing but a lay man. All your attempts to become a good writer would end in empty vaunt.

    Now we are going to discuss on such a topic that is very important when you are trying to be a good writer. The topic is all about ‘homonyms’ the meaning of which is the words that are similar in sound but different in meaning. As writer you have to know the exact word. If you can not coin th...

It is his /her dream to master the language and to express it through the speech and writing. But before mastering the language it is better to know the grammar of it. For it is inevitable to learn English grammar to have a keen sense of the language. Without it the learner is nothing but a man groping in the dark from time indefinite.

    Among the eight parts of speech the noun comes first as noun is the name of anything whether it is the person, a place, an idea or anything else. Hence in a word we can easily say that noun is nothing but a naming word. It is noun that plays the most vital role in a sentence. So without the use of a noun it is quite impossible to use a sentence or express any feeling.

    Now it is the first and foremost duty of the leaner of the English grammar to pick out from a sentence the nouns and try to differentiate it with the other parts of speech. It has to be noted that there are five nouns.

    Proper noun- It is that noun which denotes the name of anything under the... Read more...

Your mastery of the language is reflected through the style of your writing. How perfectly you are manifesting your thoughts. There is a slight difference between the mastery of oral English and written English. Oral English can be adopted in any way but it is very hard to master the art of writing English with a lucid flair.

    Actually you watch regularly millions of words in some form. It may be e-mails, it may be messages sent from the cell phone, it may be greetings, it may be ‘Twittering’. Whatever it may be if you have no syntactical sense of using the language specially English you can not be regarded as the prolific writer. All that you must know in the very basic period is to learn the syntax of English grammar.

It has intricacies inherent in it. It is seen frequently that the native speakers of English language can not stress on learning English grammar as they have the idea that it is their inborn quality to assimilate the language and use it in many ways.

    But the theory is not at all true. If you are a native speaker of the English grammar you have to master the grammar of the language just to use them in different situations and circumstances. If you try to learn the grammar of English language you may hone yourself perfectly and apply your worth in the application of both in writing and spoken style. There is enough scope to be a master of English grammar. All that need is the interactive approach that may help you to understand the grammar fully well.
