Difficult question,right?
Well, I must confess I have taught English for 5 years now and I know for sure that we all need to have some basic knowledge of English.
Sadly, we do not always have time to lean it as we should. We do our best to go to classes, listen to the teacher but still, we do not always understand why we need to learn so many rules and when we need to apply them.
The secrets which nobody tells you when yo go to class (they don't mention them in the books either)
1. Language is a logical system in which the grammar elements are kept only if they are performing a role. Actually we use the elements such as the pronouns or the articles because we do need them.
2. Grammar is not a system we learn to speak correctly. We learn it to express our thoughts correctly and be understood by others. We need to reflect real time situations as clear and accurate as possible using the language elements.
3. If we know HOW to use language we have a very powerful tool in our hands.' Oh,really?' you will say. Well, yes :) Just think about historic speeches made by Aristotles,Plato etc.
4. We use grammar in any moment of our lives,daily for any kind of action :)
5. Basically we live, love,hate, give thanks,argue, stimulate, encourage, judge, lie, admit,react using...LANGUAGE
