But you couldn't get it right or maybe you hate grammar now because you cannot learn it

Watch this video to find out the best way of learning English grammar easily

Hello, my name is Matty from POC English and in this lesson we are going to talk about how to learn English grammar easily and effectively

A very important point is that English grammar cannot and should not be studied alone

You should always learn grammar and vocabulary together

So if you learn one lesson of grammar, you should learn a lesson of vocabulary

When you learn a lesson of vocabulary, you should learn a lesson of grammar

Always together and never alone

But here is another question

What is the best way of learning English vocabulary so that you can use it while you are speaking or writing in English?

Well, in this video I have explained everything about vocabulary, you can watch it

Okay, when you learn new grammatical structures and grammatical rules, you make sentences with the rules and with the words you know

Similarly, when you learn new words, you use the new words with the structures you know to make new sentences

So in either case, whether by learning new vocabulary or new grammatical structures, you are making sentences

And the ultimate goal of learning grammar and vocabulary is to make sentences

Now that we know that the ultimate goal is to make sentences in English by learning grammar and vocabulary

How can we learn grammar effectively?

Well, follow these steps

Step one, understand sentence composition

Sentence composition? What is that?

You learn grammar and vocabulary to make sentences

So it is very important that you know what the different parts of a sentence are

And what role do different words in a sentence play?

Listen again, what role do different words play in a sentence?

The role of different words in a sentence is also known as part of speech

In English, there are four main parts of speech with four other parts of speech

The four main parts of speech are noun, verb, adjective, and adverb

A noun like pencil, a verb like play, an adjective like beautiful, an adverb like beautifully

These are the four main parts of speech or roles different words play in a sentence

There are four others

Pronouns, either subject or object pronouns like he or him

Prepositions like of, to, from, at

Conjunctions which help link two sentences like and, or

And interjections like yay, oh, ouch

Which are basically simple words that are independent and that convey feeling

What you need to do is to start simple

You should take simple steps

First, try to learn about the four main parts of speech

And how they work together and the relationship that exists among them

For example, a verb describes an action

Like the driver drives

The verb is drives and that shows the action

Adjectives describe nouns

For example, the angry driver drives

Driver is the noun, we use the adjective angry before it

The angry driver drives

Adverbs can play three roles

They can describe the verb

The angry driver drives angrily

The verb is drive and the adverb is angrily

They can also describe adjectives

Like the extremely angry driver drives angrily

The driver is angry, how angry? Extremely angry

They can also define other adverbs

Like the extremely angry driver drives extremely angrily

You see how different parts of speech are working together

In order to form a sentence

Look at the sentence again

The extremely angry driver drives really angrily

Extremely is an adverb, angry is an adjective

The adverb extremely is defining the adjective angry

Now, the adjective angry is defining the next noun, driver

What does the driver do?

The driver drives, which is the verb

The adverb angrily is defining the verb drive

And the adverb really is describing the adverb angrily

This is the relationship between all these parts of speech

Now, by improving your vocabulary

You will learn new nouns, new verbs, new adjectives and new adverbs

As parts of speech to use in your sentences

And by improving your grammar

You will use those parts of speech you have learned in a correct form

So, that was step 1

Learning different parts of speech and understanding sentence composition

Ok, what is next?

Learn tenses

This is very crucial

You have to learn tenses in English

But what are tenses?

There are 3 main tenses

Past, present and future

Each of these tenses have 4 different forms

Simple form, continuous or progressive form

Perfect form, perfect continuous or perfect progressive form

These are the 4 forms of the 3 tenses

So, overall there are 12 tenses in English that you have to learn

Let's have a look at a few examples of these tenses

For the simple tenses, look at these 3 sentences

I go to school, present simple

I went to school, past simple

And I will go to school, future simple

For the continuous tenses, look at these 3 sentences

I am going to school, present continuous

I was going to school, past continuous

I will be going to school, future continuous

For the perfect tenses, look at these examples

I have played tennis, present perfect

I had played tennis, past perfect

I will have played tennis, future perfect

And for perfect continuous tenses, look at these examples

I have been playing tennis, present perfect continuous

I had been playing tennis, past perfect continuous

I will have been playing tennis, future perfect continuous

Some of these examples might not make sense without the context

But pay attention only to the structure and form

Now, here is the main question

How should we learn all these tenses?

And more importantly, how can we learn in a way that we can actually use them?

The first step is to learn the essential tenses

The 3 tenses, past, present and future

Only the simple forms, ok?

Not the other forms, just the simple forms

Then, you should start making many different sentences with each tense

About the things you did yesterday, probably

Simple past

The things you generally do, present simple

And the things you have planned to do or you want to do in the future, future simple

Make very simple sentences, but make many sentences

For example, the musician plays the guitar, present simple

Yesterday, the musician played the guitar, past simple

Tomorrow, the musician will play the guitar, future simple

Now, with the 3 sentences you have made and with the 3 tenses you have learned try to play with the parts of speech to make the sentences a bit longer and try to be creative with the sentences

How?

Try to add adjectives and adverbs

For example, look at the 3 sentences again

The very talented musician plays the guitar really beautifully

You see, I have added some parts of speech

I've added adverbs and adjectives

Yesterday, the great musician played the guitar awfully

Again, I'm using adjectives and adverbs

Tomorrow, the famous musician will play the guitar

I've used an adjective here

So, try to mix the parts of speech with the 3 tenses you have learned

Then, little by little, try to learn and add new tenses to your knowledge

So far, I have learned simple tenses

OK, next is to learn continuous tenses

The musician is playing the guitar

The musician was playing the guitar

The musician will be playing the guitar

Present continuous, past continuous, and future continuous

Then again, try to add adjectives and adverbs to these sentences

For example, the famous musician is playing the guitar beautifully or the talented musician was playing the guitar masterfully or the great musician will be playing the guitar

OK, now I have learned simple and continuous tenses and I have played with adjectives and adverbs

What's next? Try to mix the 6 tenses you have learned

Present simple, present continuous, past simple, past continuous, future simple, future continuous

Mix them up and make sentences and write short, very short and very simple stories

For example, Jack is a musician

He plays the guitar

Yesterday, he was playing the guitar at the concert

He played the guitar yesterday

These are different tenses that I have mixed to make a very short, very simple paragraph

What's next? Use adjectives and adverbs to enrich your text

For example, Jack is a famous musician

He plays the guitar masterfully

Yesterday, he was playing the guitar at the concert

He played the guitar beautifully

Can you guess the next step?

Again, try to learn other tenses

So basically, what you are doing is you are learning some tenses

You are playing with them, adding parts of speech

When you have played with them enough, you start adding new tenses new parts of speech, new vocabulary, new adjectives and adverbs

You keep playing with them until you master them again and then you continue with the learning process until you have fully learned everything

Okay, that's with the tenses and the parts of speech and sentence composition

Is that it? No!

There are other grammatical rules apart from tenses

If you want to learn every single grammatical rule that exists in the English language you will have to study for years

The book Grammarinews has three different levels and each level has over 200 lessons of grammar according to about 600 lessons of grammar and that's not all

So, should I learn everything?

No!

As I said earlier, learn the essentials first

But which ones are the essentials?

The essentials are

Relative clauses who, which, that, whose

Passive structures an agent of a sentence is not mentioned or is not important

Quantifiers many, much, a few, a little

Conditional sentences zero conditional, first conditional, second conditional, third conditional sentences and mixed conditional sentences plus infinitives and gerunds two plus verb, verb plus ing

These plus the tenses plus adverbs and adjectives and different parts of speech

These are the alphabet of English grammar

Little by little, step by step you will learn these add them to your knowledge mix them up make different sentences write short stories and as you are doing this you are also learning new vocabulary

This is how you should approach learning grammar

Grammar, vocabulary together

While you are improving your grammar by learning about the alphabet of English grammar a very good exercise for you to do is to improve your grammatical accuracy by learning from grammatical mistakes in English

I have a complete playlist of the grammatical mistakes students usually make while trying to write or speak in English and I'm going to link it up here so you can watch it
