It is thus crucial to know some simple methods to improve your grammar skills.
Here are some of the basic tips to try!
If you make use of these, it will help you to improve.
*1. Read.*
Reading may be the number one way you can improve your grammar skills.
When you read, you reinforce correct grammar in your mind.
*It can be particularly helpful to read out loud, as the combination of seeing, saying, and hearing assists in solidifying what you have learned.*
In addition to improving your grammar, reading will help with all aspects of your writing, from sentence fluency to increased vocabulary.
*2. Get a grammar manual and a Grammar Instructor/Coach.*
It is useful to have a thorough reference book nearby that you can consult when writing.
This way, any time a grammatical question arises, you can quickly refer to the manual to obtain the answer.
There are many high quality grammar and writing guidebooks on the market.
*Speak to a Grammar Coach or writing instructor for recommendations. You can also get a Grammar Coach/Instructor that will guide you.*
*3. Practice.*
There are many excellent resources, both online and in print, conducive to improving your grammar skills.
A quick Internet search will reveal a multitude of websites that offer grammar games and exercises. If you know that grammar is an area you struggle with, set aside a few minutes each day to complete grammar exercises.
Even the simple act of taking a few English practice tests of any level can help you improve your grammar skills.
*4. Proofread… out loud.*
Sometimes when we re-read pieces we have written, our brain fills in the gaps of missing information.
We do not always catch our own mistakes when we proofread.
Reading what you have written out loud, preferably to someone else, is an efficient way to evaluate whether or not you have used correct grammar.
*You are more likely to notice your errors if you read the content aloud, rather than in your head to yourself.*
*Hope you gained value?*
*If you have questions, kindly ask.* 🤗
