English Grammar
What Would You Like to Know?
What is it about English Grammar that makes learners go a little...shall we say crazy (insane, batty, mad, loopy, bonkers)? I say crazy because first, it seems to drive students crazy (with so many exceptions to each rule that it seems ridiculous to have the rule in the first place) and second because students seem to focus on it SO much that they sometimes forget why they are learning English in the first place. Why are you learning English? Is it so that you can explain to me what a Phrasal verb does or where the noun is positioned in a conditional clause? I sure hope not.
Your motivation for learning English probably comes from a desire to...USE IT. To speak, to communicate with English speakers and to be understood as well. Maybe you need to do business in English (learning for your job), maybe your significant other is from a English speaking country (learning for love), or maybe you just decided one day to pick up a new language (learning because you can)?
English grammar can be tricky (difficult), so lets focus on specifics. There are many rules but along with those rules come a vast number of exceptions. Try to embrace them now, because they are a fact of learning English and never going to go away. sorry :(Here I will strive (work) to answer your specific English grammar questions. I'm sure you are dying to ask someone a question about phrasal verbs, different tenses and the difference between make and do, just to name a few. Ask me whatever you need to know.
