Hi,

We, Indians, call English a very FUNNY language. Why? Because it is a confused language where there are many words with "silent" letters, which actually confuses a person. For instance, you have "Mnemonic" which means pertaining to memory, where "m" is silent causing a lot of confusion.

Then, we have many grammatical expressions, such as- Onomatopoeia (words like sounds - babble, swoosh) or transferred Epithets ( Fatal shore, deafening silence etc..) all these quite get on the nerves.

I am glad I had a real good pedagogue in my school days who made me understand English!

Installation of words and sentences and phrases

English language has become an international language and it needs the knowledge for every areas of activities from career to professional level.

For students for good & correct English he should learn the English grammar with the understanding manner so that he can write a correct English .

Besides for English language a vocabulary of the various meaning of the subject will be helpful to students for presentation of the English language .

This is my personal opinion

Many English conversation teachers complain that their biggest obstacle is overcoming students' negative attitudes toward English grammar, a byproduct of high school classes that rigidly emphasize arcane points of grammar at the expense of conversational English

So many synonyms!

English has a lot of synonyms, because of its complex history and borrowed bits from other languages. IPL But they can’t all be used in the same way, and it takes a lot of hard work to find out which to use and when

Getting the order right 

The order of a sentence is really important, and can change the meaning from a simple statement to a question. Sometimes it can be difficult to know how to juggle verbs, adjectives and pronouns in the right order for each occasion!

It depends on the students‘ mother tongue and how different it is from English. Students who speak Arabic as a mother tongue , for instance,find present perfect very difficult to understand as they are confused about the difference between present perfect and past simple. Both express an action that happened in the past, but present perfect has something to do with the present time ( e.g , result of the action is evident). This concept is not expressed in Arbic in the same way as in English. therefore, teachers have difficult experiences trying to teach present perfect to Arabic native speakers.

Grammar

I think listening

Phonology, syntax, and (sometimes) poetry courses

When I was at secondary I didn't use to study for the English exam; I prepared for the next one coming. We then had a native speaker teacher who implicitly engaged us in grammar through interesting stories and conversational English. Grammar was never meant to be difficult; it was part of the language.

Learning to write grammar can be confusing and also difficult to remember but with plenty of practice these grammar rules can be learnt. ESL students will be helped by having a teacher to help with grammar both for speaking and for writing. A teacher will give plenty of encouragement to ESL students and this will make the student feel more confident about writing more, practicing conversation and therefore becoming more fluent in all areas of English. Here are 6 advanced grammar concepts that confuse most ESL students.

1) Pronunciation

2) Spelling

3) Word order

4) Omitting words

5) Incorrect plurals of nouns

6) Prepositions
