Are you good in English Grammar?

Hi there. I notice that there are not many discussions on grammar; I guess members are more interested in stuff that could invoke more responses :) Anyway, I'm good in grammar only if i keep reviewing what I've learnt. You could check my website which is on grammar and some other interesting stuff. The website is available in my profile. Grammar is rather difficult to learn. There are just too many rules, and variations. For this reason, many students shy away from learning English. Sometimes it's hard to explain why grammar works that way. Perhaps only a professor of grammar could answer all grammar-related questions.

Hum.... I guess I can say I am pretty good in English Grammar. I sure hope so...because I have an English Grammar blog at blogger to help others learn and understand English. I see you using the word "an" when it should be "a" (an hindrance) only use an before a word that starts with a vowel or when the first letter is silent and the word is pronounced by the second letter, like in the word honor or honesty. English is a tricky language and hard for some to learn. The rules are there but are not set in stone, so sometimes we make grammatical mistakes no matter how much we study or learn.

English Is the World wide Wide Leader As Far As Language is Concerned .. I Am Just OK .. I Can Just Escape the Embarrassment Of Not Knowing the Basics .. To Be A Master of A Language is Not Everyone's Cup of Tea .. Do Have A Good Day ..

when i was younger even till my early teens, i had no idea what grammar even meant. i mean, sure, in school, teachers used to give us worksheets telling us to fill in verbs, adjectives, pronouns, and so on. i had no idea at all what they meant. the only way i got everything correct was by looking at examples if there were any or by reading the sentences and figuring out the best answer. that used to work for me. but later teens, i got married, and started to give private tutoring. around that time or maybe a little earlier, schools here started emphasising more on grammar and all. and that's when i started paying more attention as well and began understanding roughly. i don't think i'm good but i can handle some simple basics. i read lots of books to improve my english and also, if possible, communicate with others especially since english is not our main language.

Well since UK English is my first language i would like to hope so I do have an A in GCSE English and i can speak and write it both to a pretty high standard when needs be. However when i am online socialising i do pay less attention to grammar.

I've learned grammer for years and i am teaching junior students grammer. but I forget all the rules while speaking.

I am an American so I am suppose to be fluent in English but I am still learning it. English is the hardest language to learn. I think I am pretty good at English grammar but I am still learning.

I am just a mediocre when it comes to english. I can write and express myself in English but I am low in expressing myself on verbal. I still have to study or practice talking more English. I know the importance of English language now because Call Center is growing like mushroom, that is the other job option for me if I am good or excellent in speaking and writing English language.

Ok, I'll admit that from where I'm standing, proper grammar seems to have skipped a generation. I wouldn't say my grammar is perfect but it does tend to stick out when all the other students throw slang and txt-speak sayings like "lol" into a conversation or written papers. I kid you not, one grade 12 student I know put "it was so lol-like" into her mid-semester paper. But in most way I don't think we all need perfect grammar as long as we can all understand each other...my rule of thumb is to try to get the message across in at least three exchanges and a maximum of 5(One exchange: I say the idea then you respond/ask a question ). If I'm not getting the message across in that time, I take it as a cue to improve my communication.

I'm good with English grammar. Its not that hard, it is like rhythm, if it sounds good then it probably is good. Just like you, I make mistakes as well, but if you feel I wrote this wrong, feel free to correct me. Then again, mylot already does that lol.

I do not speak fluent english but few know about the english language grammar

I don't say myself neither an expert in English Grammar nor poor, I rate myself OK. Actually my uncle was a Grammar teacher so I could learn something from him, durig those days I used to escape from those classes but atleast 1 hour in a day he used to teach us, because of him now I am able to write proper English with out any grammatical errors. I really thank him. Just because I got good communications skills I have a job now.

Hi, I am completely agree with you that english plays a very crucial role in such a international society. But i am not good at english, of course including english grammer, as i come from a non-english speaking country. Yes, i work with it everyday. So i learn everyday and improve everyday. i Wish i can be very skilled in english in the near future. Happy mylotting!

Heyyy Yes I think I am good in english Grammar and Spelling,because it was just the way when I went to school.I studied from a prestigious school in India where there was only emphasis on english.We were not allowed to speak any other language other than english,therefore I think that I have good English.I am open to people correcting if I say anything wrong...

Yes I am, however, there is always room for improvement. Right now I am studying English Composition in college.

I'm learning English grammar really hard these days.Cause I'm in highschool in China.We must learn grammar well in order to get good grades.But in daily life,we don't need to be so strict about grammar.Just make ourselves understood.

I can say I am good in my English grammar, which at the very least I uses my tenses correctly.. and when I write, I get the meaning across.. I don't use very powerful wordings, as to me, the objectives of writing is to make people understand and not puzzled over it.. Maybe due to my work requirement, which we write a lot on articles, and official letters to the Government officials, I have to be very careful with the presentation of those letters, therefore I make sure I check the letter few times before I send it out. And I really dislike those who just want to act as though they are good in their English by using very difficult to understand words..

Yes. Grammar is a must for good written English. Wrong use of grammar could change the meaning. Even a comma could change the meaning adversely. For example- "Catch him, not let him go." "Catch him not, let him go." Here the place of comma is changed. See the difference of meaning. So, for good written English, grammar is a must. We should try to practice writing and talking English using good grammar. Those who are weak in this language can learn more from mylot community. We can improve our knowledge and can share our knowlede with mylot community. Another good thing we can have at mylot is that we can make universal friends. Thanks.

I have my scholarly moments and then there's the times I drift back into the colloquialisms of my childhood. It depends on the situation. How do I work on my vocabulary? A strong affinity for word games.. As for listening to folks with just OK english..I'll grant that sometimes my patience wears thin. That is a reflection of me not them. As a natural born listener, most times I think of english grammar in the same light as many things in our social culture. It is a facade that not always reflects that which lies behind it.

I thing it is very good topic...I am also not good in english garmmer..I am looking for some experienced about it..so please disscussed with me also...
