My Grammar/Spelling

[Ellis]

It doesn't matter how much effort you put in checking your text if you've never learned basic grammar. I think it's better if you study English more before saying you've done everything you can and thereby excusing yourself from not being able to write correct English.

Good luck.

Wow, way to real nice. From my point of view, you are telling him that he is horrible at English and should get better at it before he uses these forums. But I am sure you didn't mean it like that.

So.... off.

I don't get what these 2 people are saying.

I completely agree with Shelley. Nothing will help you more than reading. Absolutely nothing.

shoot, learning to speak english is a vital skill that is ABSOLUTELY necessary for being remotely successful in life. Unless you are expecting to not use english, then it's imperative you understand how to speak it. If you don't intend on using english in a coherent fashion, I suggest you don't attempt to converse with people. It's quite a strain for someone to decipher a post that sounds like a jumble of words. Forget learning formal grammar in school, it's about being able to talk to someone on the most basic level.

Shoot has already displayed that he can converse with people even higher than the most basic level. And it doesn't take very much work to "decipher" his posts. All that it takes is a little intuition maybe, and logical thinking.

Having his writing deciphered is one thing. Being taken remotely seriously is quite another. Imagine if he wrote a college admissions essay or job application like this. Anyone reading it would instantly dismiss him as uneducated, ignorant, immature or some combination thereof.

And I'll become unemployed person. Just please, what should I do about my grammar? Life is getting tougher for me. And now my classmate except special education student now can't understand my words.

 

[waffle=ijm]

shoot's trying his hardest despite his disability.

I think that's more that enough.

and at least you can understand his writing with a little effort...unlike noobs who write things that are indecipherable on purpose

I am not like anyone else. Everyone is different from everyone else, some people are good at English and some or not, some people can get a sub-15 some can't. So why bother me stereo-typing me while I didn't even notice I have poor grammar? That disrespectful. :0

As others have suggested, the most helpful tool to pick up the English Language is simply reading it in books.

Waffles is trying to defend you, and not trying to be disrespectful to you.

There are many resources online if you want to get better at English grammar. Just do a Google search for what you're looking for (something like "English grammar help"?). Grammar's much more important than spelling, by the way - it's the first thing people will notice.

Just one sidenote: you should ONLY capitalize the first letter of a word if:
1) it begins a sentence (what I mean is, it comes after . or ? or !) or
2) it is a name of a person or a language/country/nationality.
There are more rules, but these will give you the right answer in most situations. If you don't know whether to capitalize or not, the better guess is to not capitalize.

I know you're not learning grammar in school right now, but I think your English teacher(s) would be happy to help you out if you bring some of your writing and ask them to explain what you did wrong and how to change it.

Finally here are a few websites which might help:

I was going to say the free-rice.com is good, but it is more for vocabulary, not grammar. It has actually helped me a little with my French and English vocabulary.

Alright. Up to now, I've tried to avoid this subject as much as possible, but I think I'm gonna jump in here, in somewhat of a defensive manner.

THIS KID IS IN SEVENTH GRADE.

Give him a break; sure, he may not be the best at forming sentences, but he tries, and from the looks of it, he really is trying his best.

Shoot; don't just pick any old book.
I'm pretty sure that yes, you should study, but in order to learn the English language, I think it'd be best for you to learn while having some enjoyment, so you're not just lethargically scanning.

That's fine, but don't just read textbooks, they lack the variety you'll need to fully comprehend the English language. I suggest reading good fiction. Ask your English teacher for some reading level appropriate suggestions.

Yes, read a lot of fiction and non-fiction book according to your level of reading. I had to go through this when I emigrated (or is it immigrated?) from China.

You emigrate from a place, you immigrate to a place.
