How to Improve Grammar
How can we speak better language with grammar? Suppose you are able to speak a few words of a new foreign language, you will become more and more sensitive to the correctness of the usage of the language with regard to its grammar.
It is important to practice a learning habit to speak good grammar but how, especially if your profession requires you to learn and yet you have little time to spare for school.
In order to speak grammatically correct language, bear in mind not all languages apply the same grammatical rule.
However, the essence of grammar can be broken down into simpler forms.
Here are some simple methods to build good foundation of grammar in any languageFind order and precision to give your relationship between time and subjects more meaning.
(For example: am watching television now, ate the pie last night etc.
) Make a relationship between people and time.
(For example: I am watching television, My name is Alice.
) Learn relationship between people.
(For instance: I posted the letter - to- you yesterday, I left the document - on - the table.
) In Mandarin or Bahasa Indonesia, tenses are not created by modifying the basic verb like 'go', 'see', 'has', 'have' or 'given'.
There are reasons for this.
And this I attribute to the nature of language itself and also explains why Mandarin is more difficult to learn than English.
See one Mandarin character is written according to the attributes of the materials or matter; once the character is decided, no further modification is allowed.
The only form of modification that exists to this day is to simplify the traditional character of the same word, yet not to modify is symbolic meaning.
This makes English easier to learn is that by understanding the meaning of one word, we can already begin to modify the same word by adding 'ed', 'ing' or 'has' to make our sentence grammatically correct.
The trick is not to keep adding our word bank with vocabulary terms.
The more vocabulary terms we learn, the greater the need to make a relationship between subjects in the vocabulary.
For instance, if you know the words in English in your living room: sofa, television, telephone, table, chair etc.
How are you going to express yourself if you need to say how you use these items? 'I watch television in the living room'.
This simple sentence alone requires you to know grammatical rules.
It is there strongly recommended to speak grammatically correct language is not to stuff our heads with vocabulary terms as quickly as possible.
The idea is to bring perspective to order and precision to time, subjects (matter) and people, so that relationships between and around these terms become meaningful.
