I ask this question because I feel sad if my own composition is wrong .. I admit I am not good in English grammar..:( Sometimes I didn't review my words so that's why after I post and read I see those wrong grammars. Anyway I am not perfect.. :)
How about you friends, how do feel about this..?
Have a happy day..! :)

I want to be good in English as like not being conscious of my grammar and spelling and everything. I definitely want to converse freely and be more confident with my skills. I don't want to confuse people with my messages that's why I am very much particular with my grammar. Have a nice weekend to you mods ;)

Hi,mods196621! At the very beginning of my English learning career, i felt grammar is hard to understand and often made mistakes.And then ,my teacher forced me to do a lot of practice, it is really a painful period for me.At last i survived from thousands of questions and found i still did not fully understand them.However,i seldom made grammatical mistake since then.I think the point is not my increasing understandings of grammar,but the language sense I got from this pile of sentences.That is being accustomed to the correct way. So ,in my view,doing more readings is a good way to solve it.

Grammar is part of any language. We usually make grammatical errors if we're using a language that is not our native tongue. It's part of the learning process and quite understandable.

I'd like to be as perfect with my grammar, but sometimes I fail to see the wrong tenses that I have used. And so , I would be posting another response under the previous one that I made to correct myself.

Every writer should be aware of his written English of a good grammar...
Then only it will reach straight into reader's mind..
I always try to write correctly step by step checking the words for spelling mistakes if any....
I try absorb all the suggestions from neighbors and friends those who are deep in English...
Without having somewhat grip on English grammar, there is no beauty of writing in my words of view....

I agree. On my own point of view if a person is in the mood and inspired to write, I think all words comes out of mind correctly and go straight into phrases. :)). Thanks my dear friend and have a nice day..! :)

Being a non-native english speaker myself, I try my best to do the right grammar. I think I have gotten a lot better since I started to speak more and read more.

hello there, I also do the same online.
However, sometimes if I have the time and the right mood I check my grammar.
This remind me of post loop when I tried to join them where I was readily disqualified.
accordingly, there are many grammatical errors in my 5 simple sentences.
when I tried to brows some of the post I saw the same!
but anyway, nobody is perfect in grammar.
this is to include those whose major is English

Although English is just a second language to me, I've been reading English books all my life and I think in English also. So, good grammar is already a habit.
But from time to time, I make typographical errors when I first compose my response. It usually happens when I change my sentence while I'm thinking of something else.

In order to improve your English, it is important to be particular not only about grammar but correct spelling. Even if myLot is not strict with wrong grammars and spelling including the quality of our discussions, it is always important to initiate your own correction for the betterment of your English writing skills. Whatever improvements you gain will revert to your favor.

that's why i'm so glad mylot is a just casual discussion site where we're free to be ourselves, and it's not an writing or article-submission.
they ask that we post in english just as a common language so we can understand one another.
in the guidelines it says "Please make sure you give your best effort to respond with quality responses."
to me it means try your best, but don't stress yourself to be perfect.
in addition, the guidelines say "Make sure you ask for clarifications on discussion topics or responses when necessary or help other users to get their point across if they are not able. We like to think of ourselves as one big happy family."
to me that also applies to rephrasing questions and answers, or giving examples, when there seems to be a miscommunication.

I'm not much particular with grammar but I always tries to write with no errors . what I do to check my grammar is to proof read it aloud , if it sounds bad it means it has errors but if it doesn't it means it is correct .

Me either admitted that I am not good in English grammar so, I have to make it correctly to avoid bully from the others. I use to preview my post sometimes to look an grammatical error, it tries to restate it to make it correct. Sometimes I cannot construct my grammar correctly even I read it repeatedly to find what is the most words that fits on my idea that I am going to say. I feel very shy in terms about it so if I am not sure on what I am about to say, I include "Sorry for my wrong grammar" just for informing the readers that I know it is wrong.
