The intricacies of English grammar have the potential to be difficult to understand. This is especially true when English is your native language, and you do not necessarily know the grammatical rules. However, understanding and using English grammar is important for many circumstances and situations. By learning the rules of English grammar and applying concrete spoken and written principles to each lesson, it is possible to use and understand English grammar with an interactive approach.

1

Categorize the elements of grammar lessons into themes. Choose one grammatical concept for each lesson. For example, one lesson can be dedicated to verbs, while another can be dedicated to adjectives, and another can be dedicated to subject-verb agreement.

2

Remember the fundamentals with humorous aids. For example, the acronym FANBOYS (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) represents the coordinating conjunctions. Also, with incomplete sentence constructions, stating the entire sentence will help to indicate the necessity of using the correct subject-verb agreement.

3

Speak out loud. Reading the rules does not always allow you to realize which concepts of English grammar you do not understand. To make the comprehension process interactive, do a grammar exercise with a friend. Take turns reading the sentences and memorizing the rules. Each of you can test one another with the answer key.

4

Apply the rules of English grammar to everyday situations. Many times, ordinary signs and posters possess grammatical errors. By trying to find the errors within these objects, you will become more proficient at understanding and using English grammar.

5

Make posters of important rules and try to focus on at least one each day. The poster will function as an interactive, visual device. Creating the poster and looking at the poster assist in the comprehension process. The act of trying to apply this rule will also help to further plant it into your memory.
