There are two separate ways that you can “learn” English grammar. One is to learn it as a subject. This means learning the names of parts of speech， from “noun” and “verb” to “2nd conditionals” and “dependent clauses”. I recommend to learn grammar in this way only if you’re going to be a language teacher or if you have a strong academic interest in this topic，
The second meaning of “learning” English grammar is learning to use it in speech and writing. To do this， it’s important to remember the following points：
There are really at least two versions of English grammar： one for spoken English and one for formal written English. Almost all of the “rules” that you read about in books and websites are for written English. These rules may not be true to spoken English.
You need to learn a little bit at a time. If you try to read a big book of rules and remember all of them， you’re going to forget most of them. And even if you do remember， you probably won’t be able to use the rules to your own language.
There are a lot of topics that can’t be learned with a simple rule； they need memorization. For example， you have to remember that “the” always goes with “the Unites States”， “the sun”， “the Beatles”， etc. There’s no simple rule that can help you figure that out.
The course I recommend is：
1.Get a reference book and read it for 5-10 minutes at a time when you have a question about something.
2.Find example sentences that illustrate a grammar point you want to remember， and memorize them using flashcards and by repeating them over and over.
3.Spend the rest of your time reading， writing， speaking， and listening to natural English.
