“When you first start learning English, you’ll probably use the simple tenses most often. The exact spelling of the conjugation changes slightly between verbs. However, there are some general rules you can remember for regular verbs.“
“You’ve heard of adjectives and verbs, but what about adverbs? When you want to add details to your sentence, adverbs in English help you describe when, where, and how something happens. Use this guide to pick the right type of adverb for the situation and put it in the correct part of the sentence.”
“Do you know your ABCs? The English alphabet is one of the first things you’ll memorize when you learn English. It’s essential for reading and writing, and it will also improve your pronunciation. Learning how to say English words isn’t always easy, but recognizing patterns and common letters will help.”
“Learning English words is important, and so is learning English phrases as entire sentences. Think about all the regular phrases you use in your daily life when you greet friends, order food at a restaurant, or ask for directions. You probably don’t think much about the individual words! Add these English phrases to your vocabulary to sound more fluent and communicate with confidence.”
“Usually, you can conjugate English verbs into past tense by adding -d or -ed. However, that only works for regular verbs (verbs that conjugate by a certain rule). Most verbs in English are regular, but approximately 200 are irregular verbs and don’t follow the normal rules. Since they’re so common, irregular verbs can make learning English a challenge. That’s why learning irregular verbs in English early will help you become fluent faster!”
“Every language has unique traits that make it different from other languages. That means learning a new language is exciting, but there are a lot of rules to learn along the way. Think of studying English grammar rules like a puzzle. You can see all the pieces individually (like letters and words), but putting them together requires understanding how they work.”
“Being able to understand the time in a new language is essential. You need to know when your train will arrive, what time class starts, the time of your dinner reservation, and more. Like most other countries around the world, English speakers tell time with hours, minutes, and seconds. Because the time system is so similar, learning how to tell time in English is easy, especially if you already know your numbers in English.”
“A writing tutor is someone who specializes in teaching others about writing skills. They might provide feedback on something you’ve already written or give you a place to start. There’s always room for improving your writing skills, and a tutor can give you the push you need to take your writing to the next level. Simply having a second pair of eyes read your work during writing tutoring is helpful insight for you to have. “
“While not always required, essay outlines give you self-tailored guidelines to build your paper instead of writing from scratch. Knowing in what order you’re presenting your thoughts to the reader will ensure your essay is coherent, which is essential to an effective essay.”
