English grammar is an integral part of English language. It cannot be separated with all other aspects of English learning. One cannot master this international language only by studying conversation and vocabulary. Grammar is a set of rules that help people to arrange words in the form of subject, verb, object, and adverbs, and etc. to make up a sentence or sentences. By studying grammar, ideas or opinion can be expressed in well ordered sentences. Learners frequently say that English grammar is one of the most difficult subjects that they have ever studied. As a matter of fact some people say that grammar is interesting. It helps them master language easily. Well, I will not say that grammar is easy but it can be mastered if we are serious in dealing with it.

To study grammar, you need a number of Grammar books which you can find at a local bookstore or order directly from an online bookstore. Grammar lessons should be studied from the easiest level such as learning singular and plural nouns. After that students can study the present of be and the simple present tense. Here, English learners start to compose simple sentences about their identity and daily habits.

Books that I recommend to you are as follows:

I believe that these books can be ordered or bought from Longman.com. Grammar books that I think will help you master the English language fast are Fundamentals of English Grammar and English Grammar in Use. They have been used by millions of English teachers and students around the world. I have all the above books on my desk to help me compose an article or blog post. Anytime I need to see the proper grammar or structure expression, I just need to take one of them and read. English grammar in use is a good self-study guide for learners who have been learning English for at least one year.

Now, students feel that they can study English without buying or ordering expensive grammar books because all English lessons are now readily available on the internet. Well, I still suggest that you buy grammar books if you want to master English grammar. You can bring your book where ever you go and study them at your own comfort and space. I remember the time when I started to learn English grammar. I was on junior high school and the textbook for the English lesson was English Structure for SMP students. It was a grammar book. Now colorful course books have been published by Longman to help international students study English. Books such as Spectrum, Vista were really famous during 1990s. I recommend another textbook series, True Colors. The books are great for students who study English as foreign language meaning that they live in countries that had never been the colony of the US, UK or Australia. If you are in Indonesia or Thailand, English is definitely a foreign language. But if you live in Hongkong, Malaysia or India, you study English as second language. They are former British colonies.

When the grammar topics in an introductory level has been read, and answered, you can continue your study to a more difficult level such as the Focus on Grammar Basic Course book. Grammar should not be seen as a monster. Although it may be difficult for beginners, it will become interesting after you spend enough time studying it. So, don't give up learning English grammar, one day you'll make it. Good Luck! by Charles Roring
