236 - How can I use grammar correctly when speaking English?

Today I want to answer a question that is important for everyone who is studying English. Many of my students say, "I study grammar a lot and I understand it in theory. But when I speak, I can't think of the grammar in the moment, or it takes too long to remember the rules. So how can I use grammar correctly when speaking English?"

This is a great question!

It's true that when you're speaking there's really no time to think about grammar rules and to analyze each sentence. But what if the grammar just doesn't come to mind?

What tends to happen is that you either freeze or pause a lot. I hear a lot of students with these long pauses in the middle of their sentences as they're thinking carefully about their grammar.

I don't want that to happen to you! I want you to be able to speak more easily and confidently, using correct grammar.

I really hope that you practice your grammar in the way I described in this lesson - trust me, it will come out more naturally with time!

If you want to practice with the help of a teacher, we have two courses for you:
