*How can you develop your grammar skill?
Here are few ways, I can Enhance my grammar skill.
Grammar is a subject that stresses many students out, as it can be quite confusing and complicated. However, correct grammar is important for my writing and success, both as a student and as a future employee. It is thus crucial to know some simple methods to improve my grammar skills. Here are seven basic tips to try!
1. Read :
Reading may be the number one way I can improve my grammar skills. When I read, reinforce correct grammar in my mind. It can be particularly helpful to read out loud, as the combination of seeing, saying, and hearing assists in solidifying what I have learned. In addition to improving my grammar, reading will help with all aspects of my writing, from sentence fluency to increased vocabulary.
2.Get a grammar manual :
It is useful to have a thorough reference book nearby that I can consult when writing. This way, any time a grammatical question arises, I can quickly refer to the manual to obtain the answer.
3. Review the basics :
While classes in English linguistics and writing may not be something I am interested in, it is vital to spend a bit of time learning or reviewing the basic principles. Do some research on the basic parts of speech, as well as on the common grammatical errors people tend to make.
4. Practice :
There are many excellent resources, both online and in print, conducive to improving my grammar skills. A quick Internet search will reveal a multitude of websites that offer grammar games and exercises.
5. Listen to others :
When instructors, writing lab staff, or writing tutors give me feedback, listen to them! Find out if I have a consistent issue with any topics in particular.
6. 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 I have written out loud, preferably to someone else, is an efficient way to evaluate whether or not I have used correct grammar.
7.Write :
Just as it helps to read a great deal, it will also benefit me to write more. All students of any age can benefit from taking extra strides to enhance their grammar.
8. Daily Grammar :
A self-described "fun, convenient way to learn grammar," Daily Grammar is a comprehensive teaching tool for anyone needing to polish up their English grammar skills.
9.Use New Words :
Use a word immediately after I learn it. Trying to make a game out of using a new word as soon as I learn it. Every day, trying to slip in a new word into the conversation, a journal entry, an assignment or an email to a friend.
10.Read Every Day :
Trying to read a well-written and edited essay, magazine article, book or news article every day.
11.Develop Practical Vocabulary :
This means I should start by learning words that express what’s important to me for the task at hand. A good example of this is learning trade language or words I use often in a hobby or vocation.
12.Do Word Puzzles :
