This is because of your long-term problem of converting English into your native language.
I was born in Phillipines, But I live in America, One friend told me my grammar seems off so I watched some videos to improve my grammar and pronunciation skills, So this really helps thanks!
I'll improve my English grammar more than and from now on. Thankully teacher.
I like how you keep it very slow, simple, easy, basic, concise, and clear.. What we need to know is teaching from the very very basic since Kindergarten.. etc.. Teaching from other higher level people will always be lost and confused and keep on thinking that there are something that they haven’t learn yet so they can never ever master grammar.. 😃

I'm having difficulties of using proper grammar in every sentence its because I always rely in my native dialect (tagalog) that caused confusion to me. That's why I need to write down all my mistake to improve my grammatization skills. And other important thing is often using plushcards or apps. 😁

The best explanation of you both guys I love so much grammar of English because, I am so weak with this that why I try to listen to gain more and more the special 1 other is I see your example with the name of my country is Cambodia I'm so happy too. Thank you so much
Here is how I learned grammar in the old days in Thailand (55+ years). The text books in primary school and lower secondary school don't talk about grammar topics at all. They just provide examples and drills to instill the correct form. I only started learning grammar topics in the last two years in high school, reading a few grammar books and doing exercise in them. I reinforced grammar learning by reading graded readers starting from 1000 words upto 3000 words from British Council library. There were about 200+ graded reader books and I read them all! My grammar is practically perfect, hardly making any mistakes since then. It has become a second nature to me like breathing in/breathing out, no need to think at all.

My personal tip for making written grammer drills delightful is to turn them into penmanship practice. Some time spent using careful writing out of letters can often lead to relaxation. Japanese calligraphers, allegedly, used to spend some time grinding powder to ink before they were calm enough to start doing calligraphy. :)
Thankyou so much From now on I'll do best to improve my grammar

Hey, it's an awesome video. The templating was very insightful for me. I didn't find the weakest grammar rule of mine yet. Thank you for the video.
I came here to find what mistakes i.e (grammatically) did we actually do ,while forming a sentence so then by knowing it I could be abled to write a grammatically correct sentence without any difficulties. We always think that just by only watching videos on english lectures we will able to improve our writting skills but it is not true without doing it's practice i.e writting sentences, or reading books ,we can't able to improve it. So if you actually want to improve your communication sills or writting skills the you have to do practice it will be hard at start but then you will be enjoying it like a gameplay. Thank you
Thanks a lot. Great and useful lesson.
This is really helpful. Whether i can speak English very well, i need to improve my grammar so i can speak properly towards native speaker. Thank you!

Hi) I am from Ukraine, busy preparing for IELS exam. I personally find your videos very helpful and would like to say thank you, for all your effords to make such an interesting lessons. The first thing which I really would like to improve it is the correct way of using present perfect term. I always hesitate when i should and when i shouldnt use this form simply because in our language we don’t have similar gramma construction. I love the idea with templets, really think it is going to work for me. thank you a million.

Read it 2-3 Times D Try to write it without looking at it Compare it with the original 2 make specific list of grammar mistakes ( form and function ) Form : Repeat and review from many many time ( flash cards) Function : check the rules in grammar book Find the difference between your language and English 3 templating( take a part of a sentence and finish it in a different way) 5 examples relating to your real life examples and in full sentences And make sure your sentences are correct 4 flash card app A make question using your template sentences B Put 1-2 gap C make question with mistakes you made frequently and correct it D review efficiently (Every day or as after as possible)
I was wondering how to fix the fluency on grammar points that I came across in English, Thankyou so much for giving those tips which really helpful for me♥️♥️♥️ and I guess it also can be applied to Japanese grammar as well inorder to memorize it for long time.☺
thank you for this very useful adviced! gread video!
Thank you and I will start from beginning of the grammar
Hi Sir,Thanks a lot for the awesome videos. I have few doubts about the tenses and I think you are the best person to clarify those. so my doubt is : can we mix the tenses while making a sentence? for example : 1, I am learning the dance steps which I saw last night.2, We have been reminding them since the day we sent the request. eagerly waiting for your response
