Web Grammar learning

Grammar learning is to understand

Grammar learning is to understand how English phrases are constructed. In English you have the simple (present) tense, past tense, future tense. You also have the continuous tense that expresses the action that is happening. The nouns are words that can present a person, an object or a fact. There are singular nouns and plural nouns. Countable nouns are nouns that we can count for example one table, two tables, hundred tables etc. Uncountable nouns are the one that usually can not be count such as water, or information. Remember to do the exercises frequently.

Most native speakers NEVER learn rules of grammar.
English grammar rules are complex and have many exceptions. It is best to learn grammar by hearing and reading as much natural English as you can.

Keep a diary. For each day consider the "WH"-questions (what, where, who, when, why, how).
Write reviews of movies you've seen, restaurants you've eaten at etc. Describe them and say what you liked - and didn't like about them. Find some English speaking penpals or email friends to practice real English communication with. Write letters to newspapers and magazines on subjects that interest you.
