Hi. How are you today? Are you having a great day? I’m doing well.
Today I’m back to explain Rule 5. I hope you're enjoying these posts
On Rule 2, I told you never to study grammar rules. But, of course, you want to use correct English grammar.
Maybe you are thinking, "How can I learn English grammar if I don't study English grammar rules?"
Well, today I will tell you.
I will teach you a way to learn grammar naturally. Use this method and your grammar will improve automatically. You will automatically use the correct verb tense. You won't think. You won't try.
**Rule 5: A Story
I have a friend who did very well on grammar tests. He knew all of the grammar rules. He knew English verbs.
But He had a problem. He couldn't USE the grammar in a real conversation. He could
explain the past tense, but when speaking, he would say "Yesterday I
GO to school".
My friend was confused. How could his grammar tests be so good, but his speaking so bad?
He said:
"Before this rule, I knew all the grammar rules, but I couldn't speak correctly. I couldn't feel English grammar. After using
point of view stories, I feel it and use it correctly.
Now my grammar is great when I speak. I never think about it, I just automatically use correct English grammar. Thank you!"
My friend learned this grammar naturally. He never studied grammar rules.
How did he do it?
First he listened to a short story in the present tense. He listened to it every day.
Then, he listened to the exact SAME story-- but this time it started with "10 years ago...." He learned to "feel" the past tense by listening to this story.
Next, I gave him the exact same story. This time, it started with "Since 2004..." My friend learned to FEEL the perfect tenses by listening to this story.
Finally, I gave him the exact same story... beginning with "Next year..." He learned to FEEL the future tense simply by listening to this story.
RULE 5: Use Point Of View Mini-Stories
I call these stories "Point Of View Mini-Stories". They are the most powerful way to learn and use English grammar automatically.
Use Point of View Stories for Automatic Grammar
Use Point of View Stories for Automatic Grammar
You must learn grammar by listening to real English. The best way is to listen to stories... told in different times (points of view): Past, Perfect, Present, Future.
How do you do this? Easy! Find a story or article in the present tense. Then ask your teacher or tutor to write it again in the Past, with Perfect tenses, and in the Future. Finally, ask him to read and record these.
Then you can listen to stories with many different kinds of grammar. You don't need to know the grammar rules.
Just listen to the Point of View stories and you will improve grammar automatically!
You can also find Point of View lessons and use them to learn grammar automatically.
It is powerful. It is simple. It is successful.
You will succeed.
You will use correct grammar naturally and automatically.
This is the secret to English grammar.
