English Grammar – Free lessons – Learn English Online

Here are our five best tips for learning English grammar easily.

Don’t get obsessed with it. Try to spend only 20 – 25% of your study time on grammar, and the rest on getting exposure to the language in other ways. Reading, listening, writing and speaking are all far more natural ways to interact with English: grammar is just the glue that holds everything together!

Keep a notebook where you write down verb conjugation charts and grammar rules as you come across them. This will help you keep track of what you have learned, will help new rules “stick” in your brain more easily than online learning.

Learn the words that trigger each tense and rule — for instance, “yesterday…” often opens a sentence in the simple past tense, where “whilst I was…” often signals the past conditional tense. Learning some example sentences is very helpful.

Resolve any doubts as soon as you come across them. There is plenty of help available online. You can ask English tutors for free advice on Preply’s Q&A forum!

Practice using English grammar as soon as you can by forming sentences yourself. The most efficient way is to start speaking, but don’t underestimate the power of writing in English too! Follow all five of these steps, and you will see progress in your understanding of English grammar in the shortest time possible.
