Understanding and Using English Grammar (blue)



However, from your question, I can see that your grammar isn't bad at all. What I would recommend for you is to turn off the TV and do a lot of reading. If I were to choose a grammar book for you on such a sparse amount of information as this, I would choose the black one which is an intermediate level book. So much of how we express ourselves is acquired as opposed to being learned. That is to say.....we absorb it. I can attribute my grammar more to my parents and to voracious reading as a young man (Lord of the Rings at age 10 was the beginning.) than to grammar lessons. The other part of having good grammar is pure intelligence and being born with the gift. I myself am poor at math, but have a natural gift for grammar. However, if it was important to me, I could improve my math skills through study. As you are trying to improve your grammar, you know yourself that it needs work. That would indicate to me that you at least have the intelligence level to improve as I could with math if I gave a hoot. There is also many interactive grammar sources on the WWW. Just type in the area that you feel needs work and look around for one that looks extensive. I recently did this with my students (I'm an English teacher in Mexico) and assigned it to them as homework. The topic was conditional sentences. This is what I came up with for them.

I like the site overall, and it could help you without having to buy a book. Look around on the web, and you'll have some luck if you don't like this site. As well, once again......read! Start with fun classics like Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.



Good Luck!
