            5 Tips for answering Grammar questions by my experience added with recommended resources. It’s up to you to try this or not, if you can get along with your preceding ways and you feel that’s very successful, that’s okay, you gotta keep it up, if you feel that you got failure and you wanna be better, better you try my tips below. This is intended to help English learners out on how to learn and master Grammar.

1.      Think of what is practical is important

When you get a drill assigned by your English teacher, make sure that your heart thinks of practicality as you’re happy playing something then it facilitates you to remember the activity. You know what? People prefer your good skill rather than your high score, and that’s you’re going to show off to them. Your skill is a down-to-earth thing you need to emphasize. When you get an English exercise or exam, you are subconsciously going to be able to answer all the questions easily and quickly and you’re not being worry at all.

2.      Make sure that you have a leisure/free time to practice

“Practice makes perfect”, this quote I firstly found when I wanted to start how to speak English and learn all of the skills. If you don’t believe it, I give an example, you can ask a former national swimmer athlete “How could she/he be a winner that won many competitions and awards and became a play-off?”. It’s because of exercising a lot. So, it’s important for you to practice whenever in order to reach your own perfectness of English. My lecturer ever said: THERE’S NO APPROPRIATE TIME TO PRACTICE, you JUST DO IT WHENEVER IT IS. I know the time like morning is the best time for practicing, but how about if you all of a sudden got an emergency activity? It’s better for you to do that, cause practicing can be done whenever you want. My morning routine is actually practicing by speaking English as possible as I do. You know what? I have ever meditated myself for 3 months to learn English Grammar as I was a beginner at that time. I meditated by practicing a lot. It really worked.

3.      Don’t be afraid of making mistakes

You know what? “We learn nothing if we’re right all the time”. It’s okay for you to make mistakes because you can learn something from that and can be a better person every single day. Some people think that they’re being unconfident if they’re not perfect on their preparation of English, that’s absolutely crazy. Are you perfect as a human? Remember, we’re continually learning. Again and again, it’s okay for you to make mistakes (good mistakes). If your pairs laugh at your speaking, for example, laugh together!

4.      Use existing medias

As long as you have a phone, you can use it wisely and do the paramount things you’ve to use from it such as watching English movies on YouTube. I think YouTube is a very useful and well-known media among others in learning English. You can watch many videos using English by turning on the subtitle. Then, screenshot grammatical words from that, and learn about it after watching. Instead of watching TV a lot or checking other social media which is perhaps less important for you, you can watch YouTube. You can also promote level of your speaking and your listening, as well. Another interesting social media you can try is Instagram. If you follow native speakers or pairs, look at the caption on the photo posted, because there must be a bunch of words that are familiar. Moreover, you can keep up the recent information or notification in the feed icon on social media, so you can learn English every day as wisely as you use.

5.      Study by your own self first, ask others later

Some people are used to expecting other people to teach them English all the time. If you’re used to it, you may be pent up in every situation. Now change it, guys!. A teacher has their own occupations in every time, you cannot force them to accompany and teach you in home for all the time, it’s kind of impossible. If you misunderstood about grammar, the first thing you’ve to do is that you have to learn it first by your own self, you have GOOGLE, search for it in it, or you can use English books. You didn’t realize that you live in Millennial Era in which sophisticated technologies are appearing, you have to be grateful for that. You can also use YouTube to learn Grammar, look for Grammar lesson videos that has a tutor in it, it will help you out, and I'm sure you will understand fast because most of us are visual learners. After studying by your own self, you can ask your pairs or your teachers about any difficult parts you don’t understand, you may get the point. It’s actually easy and it’s effective. Especially, for students, imagine you pay the tuition in a university, what do you get in that university?, it’s important for you to ask. Your lecturer’s salary is as well paid as your asking.

            For the tricks, maybe you have your own great tricks to learn Grammar. For me, there’s only 1 trick for learning grammar, but it's very useful, though. This trick is also once said by my English lecturers, that is be CONSISTENT! (Grammar must be parallel and based on the context)
