Tips for Mastering These Structures:
Don't Try to Learn Everything at Once: Pick a few structures each week.
Ek saath sab kuch seekhne ki koshish mat karo. Har hafte kuch structures chuno.
Notice Them: When you read or listen to English, actively look for these structures.
Jab tum English padho ya suno, in structures ko dhyaan se dekho.
Practice Speaking: Try to use them in your conversations, even if you make mistakes.
Bolne ki practice karo, chahe galtiyan hi kyun na hon.
Write Them Down: Create your own example sentences. Keep a grammar notebook.
Apne example sentences likho. Ek grammar notebook banao.
Get Feedback: If possible, ask a teacher or a fluent speaker to check your sentences.
Agar ho sake, toh kisi teacher ya fluent speaker se apne sentences check karwao.
Use Hinglish as a Bridge: Understand the concept in Hinglish first, then try to think more in English as you improve.
Pehle Hinglish mein concept samjho, phir jaise jaise behtar ho, English mein zyada socho.
Phew! That was a lot, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. English grammar is rich and nuanced, with thousands of subtle variations and idiomatic expressions. This guide gives you a strong foundation for many of the most crucial ones.
Yeh bohot saara tha, par yeh toh bas shuruaat hai. English grammar bohot vishaal hai.
