English Is A Word Language Not A Grammar Language
Many people learning English today are learning English as if it was a
grammar language. They spend hours and hours with their heads inside a
book, trying to understand why some past tense words end in “ed” and
others don’t.
What these students do not realise is that the only reason you are
told by your teachers to spend hours and hours studying the grammar of
English is because testing grammar is the only way they can test you.
Testing whether you can actually speak English is almost impossible to
be fair and accurate.
So here’s the thing. When you are studying English stop worrying
about the actually grammar of English (after all, you will learn this
much faster if you read English articles in newspapers or books)
instead, learn English by looking for the patterns of which English
words fit with each other. For example:
the words “go” and “home” are partner words.
“Go home”
“Going home”
“Went home” (past tense of “go” is “went”)
OK, so that’s an easy example. No look at these examples:
The word “part”
Part – time
Part – payment
part – company
“time”, “payment” and “company” are also partners of the word “part”
And here’s another, and this one is fantastic. The words “money” and
“time” have the same partner words … it is as if they are sister words
Save time / money
Spend time / money
Waste time / money
So stop boring yourself stupid, and start looking for the patterns in
English. It is much more fun, makes more sense and is guaranteed to
help you through the difficulties of learning English
