What NOT To Do when you are beginner in sentence forming

f you really want to speak sentences in English correctly, you must practice using methods that work and avoid methods that don’t work.

There are two methods that don’t work. Avoid these methods so that you don’t waste your time.

1. Learn English sentence formation by studying.

Here are a few examples:

• Read articles about sentence construction.

• Watch video lessons that teach you how to make sentences.

• Memorize sentence construction rules.

These activities are a waste of time. You can’t learn to speak English by studying. Instead, you must learn to speak English by practicing.

Learning to speak English by studying is like learning to swim by reading books. It doesn’t work.

Studying can also make you think about grammar rules when speaking. This is not good. When speaking English, you should only think about the ideas that you want to express, not grammar rules.

Don’t study sentence formation. Practice making sentences out loud instead.

2. Practice making sentences on your own (without any input).

Some English students try to improve their spoken English by talking to themselves.

Did you ever try to do it?

If you did, you probably encountered these problems:

1. You wanted to express an idea, but you didn’t know how to put it into words.

2. You felt like you didn’t speak like native speakers.

3. You made a lot of mistakes, but you didn’t know how to correct them.

These problems are the reason why talking to yourself is not a good practice.

A good practice must teach you to speak like native speakers and help you fix your mistakes. This is why you should practice with English speaking lessons or by imitating native speakers. These two methods ensure that you receive correct input, which allows you to speak English correctly
