Hi Sunhoek,
There are a number of things you can do to improve your grammar. In addition to studying grammar rules by using grammar books you should try and get as much "English input" as possible. Learning grammar rules is one thing, knowing what sounds good is another. You can only know what sounds good and correct if you listen and read a lot. You can try to study all the grammar rules that linguists have ever written down and you might still not be able to express your thoughts clearly.

Not only that, but grammar books don't contain all the possible structures. I have been using English since I was 2, and I've studied and taught English grammar for years, and I still run into correct structures in daily life that are not explained in any grammar book. I know, because I look for them. |
