Basics of Grammar – To begin, I’d like to address the question of whether grammar is necessary for spoken English. This is particularly relevant when you’re studying English in high school, elementary school, or in your education journey.
You might have attended grammar classes that focused on sentences, agreement, verbs, and subject agreement, emphasizing the correct placement of words. Was this emphasis on grammar and vocabulary important for your English learning? Certainly, it was crucial.
Let me share what I think – this is a bit of a trick question because, of course, grammar is essential. You need to have a good sentence structure to ensure that your sentences are understandable. In general, grammar holds importance. However, the question arises: How can you learn grammar?
What is the fastest way to learn grammar? Should you study grammar and focus on grammar rules? Well, there are two sides to this. If you are a beginner just starting to learn English, I recommend understanding some general grammar rules, such as when to use basic verbs and the different parts of a sentence, focusing on basic sentence structure. On the other hand, if you are an intermediate or advanced English learner, then you should strive to understand native English speakers.
