My Dream - to become master in English Grammar ?

I guess your m edium of instruction is not English. Siliguri! Are you preparing for some competitive examination or do you want to learn English grammar for the sake of it? To your question in the above context , I am giving you the explanation -- "Knowledge of at least two languages are required to pass the examination" is the given sentence.Now, let us split the sentence into Subject and predicate. As you know very well, the number in the subject determines the verb used.Ok? Knowledge of at least two languages--subject are required to pass the examination--predicate. --'are' is wrong here. 'Is ' should be the verb used because 'knowledge' is singular.If the sentence starts with a plural word then the plural verb can be used. Read this example now."Lessons in different languages are to be taken if one needs to pass this test."--Here the subject is "Lessons in different languages'--'lessons' is plural. 'Ther verb 'are' must be used. Is it clear now? Regarding your dream, just wait and read a lot.

hi, all people would wish to be master the English grammar because they said that this is universal language,since i was in elementary that is my dream and until now,i am still wishing that.

Please allow me to translate this post as I would have written it. " Really, I mean I badly want to become a Master in English Grammar, and I'm working very hard to achieve the same. I spent a lot of time understanding the grammar, but friends,after learning so much, I am still not as good as a school pupil! The reason for it is the confusion I have while studying English Grammar. I did one exercise to find the grammatical error, and stopped in one place where the question was; " Knowledge of at least two languages are required to pass the examination. There should be, 'is' in place of 'are' given in the answer, but why is, 'is' used in place of, 'are'... as we know that 'are' is used when we are speaking of the plural." My answer- In this case it should be 'is,' because we are speaking of Knowledge which is singular.

The best way to learn grammar in any language is to enroll in a language class. The next best thing is by living with a native of that country, as for your example, the US or the UK (depending solely on which kind of English you want to learn). That would make you a passable English speaker/writer in no time. Also, check out websites like this which can help you improve on your grammar: http://www.grammarmudge.cityslide.com/Home.html

I think the previous answers already explained why the subject is singular. Don't be confused if the sentence has a long subject or a long predicate. Try to divide the sentence and locate the main subject and the main verb, if your subject and your verb agree then it's grammatically correct! I am not a Native English speaker but I believe my English is good enough (grammatically). I learned a lot from books I read since I was in grade school. And until now, my English is improving because of reading. Read and practice a lot and you'll achieve your dream. Good luck!

This is great.Because this language is spread everywhere and will always be useful.I can only sincerely wish you to achieve your dream. I know I must work hard to learn many things but also life and practice can give you more things.The more staraesh the better for you.Good luck and nice day!

Dear friend, Usually I do not care much on grammer in mylot, but I do care to express my views better. But for better grammer may be it depends upon the guidence and other resources one gets. Anyhow in examination poin view I feel grammer is much also may in other presentation, book writing etc. Anyhow it is nice to know you are going to betterment your grammer. All the best

Agree with kalav explanation. Regarding your dream, a lot of exercise will help you in mastering the subject. I a not good in English too and we have spent more than 10 years to learn but I am really positive that we can master it someday. We just need to get used of it and practice make perfect!

what i would say to you is that do you know anyone whose first language is english? get to know them, talk to them, spend time around them. eventually, you will pick up a masterful grip of the english language and it's grammar. since you aren't consciously thinking "I MUST LEARN THIS" your brain picks it up easier.

Where are you come from? fighting. Be a master is really not easy. but as I ever read from a book,that don't ever leave your dream eventhough you can't reach it this time. but someday if you keep your faith,you will get what you want. and always try and do your best.
