ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Janice Vega.
ReplyDelete1. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
My biggesst mistake while writting is that I misspel many words, that is not exactly grammar, but remember, in English the spelling of many words is similar, so you can change the verbal tense of a sentence and also the main subjetct by misspelling words.
Another thing that I should work on, is learn gramar rules to write pharagraphs correcly for example when to capitalice letters, use indent on a text, and so on.
Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
Verbal tenses. I consider myself a fluent language usser however many times I have a Buch of idias in my mind so it becomes hard to use propper verbal tenses specialy when I’m suposed to use present perfect, past perfecto r past participe lof a verb. I guess It has something to do with my lack of knowledge about rules, since when I learnedgot foucused on speaking skill.
Write a 250-word paragraph about the importance of having excellent grammar skills when writing and speaking.
In my opinion while learning a language you should ask yourself why are ou going to put your effort learning another language. When you know why, then you should ask in which context of your life will you use that language.
Those answers are important because if the main reason to learn a language is just cumunicate with others on my daily life, accuracy is less important than fluency or vocabulary. If, on the other hand, your idea by learning a new language is to use it in a professional environment being gramaticaly accurate shows all your capacities and the respect you have for your own effort and also your collegues.
Since whe want to become English teachers, being grammatically acurate Will somehow shows how good or bad are we as professionals.
Hi, my name is Yoselin Damary Funez.
ReplyDeleteThroughout the years the teaching of English has had a wonderful advance but, will we really know English in its essence? There are errors that although we make when writing and speaking English and although they are common mistakes for us, they are not significant, but when it comes to having a conversation or writing a text, it can make the reader or the listener difficult.
It is necessary that we know the grammar of what we are talking about and one of the ways is studying and practicing simple grammar. there are books and apps that help to know the grammatical structure of what we want to talk with the objective that the message is easy to understand.
Hi I'm Audely Girón
ReplyDelete1.Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
Analyzing my writing, I think that I make some errors like that sometimes I forget to write the personal pronoun "it" when I'm writing a definition of a word. E.g to write this "helps to see "
I think that I have to write "it helps to see ". So I have noticed that this can be an error that I have been making.
Also sometimes i don't know where to write the coma and the semicolon in a sentence.
2. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
So when I'm speaking I make mistake when I am using the perfect tense in a sentence, because maybe I don't know what kind of verb use.
3. Write a 250-word paragraph about the importance of having excellent grammar skills when writing and speaking. You can mention ways to reduce errors and improve your writing.
In my opinion, it is very important to have excellent writing skills to get success in a professional life, and grow as a person with higher education too. But nowadays people don't like to read and that's why they are having difficulties in writing and speaking, because they are not getting enough vocabulary to express their thoughts and ideas written or spoken. So, us as students we have to be aware of what kind of verb use in a sentence. Also know about what is the structure of the words in a sentence, in order to comprehend the message. In addition us as learners, we have to be aware of what kind of verb use and also check the spelling of the words too. So, I know that is normal that students make mistakes when they are speaking because they are not native speakers. That's why people can use some ways to avoid these errors like refreshing knowledge about verb tenses in order to choose what verb use in a context written or spoken.
Reading is another way to get enough vocabulary to express thoughts and ideas. In addition it's very important to learn about transition words to give a clear understanding with a good structure, fluency and accuracy in the whole idea.
Hello, my name is Doris Landero. Usually my most common grammatical error is the bad order of words, auxiliary verbs, spelling, etc.
ReplyDeleteAbout my mistakes when speaking is the bad pronunciation.
I think grammar is very important, some people think they have advantages over other people because they can speak well or on the other hand they can write well but it is a mistake, both writing and speaking correctly is important because we will be teachers of this language and as we speak or write our students will do it. We need to practice and practice. Maybe it is not easy to memorize each sound, each rule etc. but the constancy give fruit. I think ... we'll see. Each person learns in different ways. we learn by seeing, reading, writing or memorizing. The textbooks that assign us in this career explain in an easy way some grammatical aspects, we can benefit from them.
Hi! My name is Doris Nasatet Mairena
ReplyDeleteWhen you come to begin to undertand and practice English speaking is quite common to have errors more in grammar,English grammar seems to be very easy to learm ,there is only one gender ,there are not so many different forms of verbs,but there the problem is what it seems and not what it really is.
For example the small detail of the 'S' for verbs in the third person surely you have heard it so many times that it comes aut of your ears.
2. To speak in my case the errors would
be the pronunciation and it quite
Common and that is what gives us
away ,as in spanish our natural
tendency is to add an 'E'behind
spain but the corret thing is to the
consonant .It is not easy to
Sometimes understand that when our
language is spanish.
Another case is that we are still
used language that is written as it
it is pronounced and this is not
always the case of English.
Hi. I'm Osiris Calix Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
ReplyDeleteI always commit a mistake when I use the verbs, more in past tense, or past participle. sometimes when I use the connectors. or when I use the possessive. I hope to improve my Grammar in this class. because I need so much ...
What grammar mistakes are most common when speaking?
I think my problem is that I think a lot about Spanish, so I say almost everything very literally and I need to talk a lot, to improve this problem in my English.
Write a 250-word paragraph about the importance of having excellent grammatical skills when writing and speaking. I think it's very important to have good grammar. because at the time of starting a conversation we have to be very clear about the rules of grammar, to clearly understand the message we want to transmit, because with grammar errors they will not understand us. for example it is veryimportant when we are going to write a document in which we need to be clear in what is meant to be understood and the grammar must be perfect. Personally I need to strive in this class to improve what I do wrong when I write or speak English, a good way to improve can be reading more books in English, listening to how other people speak the language or watching movies, news, series, music or we can write in a book our mistakes and perfect practicing with sentences. In this way we can improve.
Hello, I'm Johan Zelaya.
ReplyDelete1.The most common mistakes that I have are Infinitive and Gerund. Because I hate the rules of those topics but, actually I'm improving in their because I'm going to need those knowledge in our future employ.
2. "Think in Spanish" Sometimes, when I speak in English with someone I start to think in Spanish and I know that it is not correct because that's not the lenguage that I'm using in that moment.
3. Why is important to have a good grammar?
We need to know that we are going to be teachers and our work will depend of our skills.
When we are in from of future pupils we need to have a good lenguage,because they are going to be the future of our country and they can get those incorrect knowledge and use them in their lives. At the and, all our mistakes will be reproduced to our students.
I'm going to mention some tips to improve in your English:
-Use a dictionary.
-Read, mark and search the words that you don't know of any lecture.
-Watch movies in English with subtitles in the same lenguage.
-Answer crosswords and word search.
And some experts say:
-Read. Reading may be the number one way you can improve your grammar skills.
-Get a grammar manual. It is useful to have a thorough reference book nearby that you can consult when writing.
-Review the basics.
-Practice.
-Listen to others.
-Proofread…out loud.
-Write

3. Write a 250-word paragraph about the importance of having excellent grammar skills when writing and speaking. You can mention ways to reduce errors and improve your writing, being more skilled at editing it, until you grow completely confident at it.
Grammar as well as writing, listening, reading and conversation is a very important aspect when learning any language, including English. Having knowledge of grammar you will be able to correct the texts you write and thus build the sentences in a correct way. This will help you improve each day with each text you write and encourage you to follow. Some of the learning methods that exist do not base their method on grammar but it is undeniable that this section is very important to reinforce any study method that you wish to use. Knowing English is also very useful for the labor field. Even if your job is not developed in this language, there could always be a situation in which someone asks you a question and if you control the language in all its aspects, including grammar, you can help and earn points with your coordinators thus achieving the recognition you deserve. Another situation in which you will be able to take advantage of your grammatical knowledge is to review small doubts that arise when it comes to holding a conversation or writing a document in English.
Hello,I'm Maritza Oliva
ReplyDeleteWhich grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
When I write I have the problem that I cannot organize well my ideas I do a mess like a milkshake... Also I have problems of identifying the parts of speech if somebody ask me which is the noun or the adjective my mind put in blank, and the tenses of a sentence.
Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
When I speak I get confused with the tenses, also I have problems with words that are similar like tell-say... I do not know when to use them, and most of the time a said phrases that are similar in Spanish but they are incorrect in English I need to improve learning more phrasal verbs.

I think we sometimes do not dedicate too much time in our learning( we are not autonomus). We have to improve our English every day, practicing our English knowledge because if we do not practice we are going to forget what we already know. And we are going to be English teacher and we have to know very well Grammar because in that way we are giving a clear idea about what we think of any topic or opinion... In other words if we have a better Grammar knowledge we are able to write and to speak in a better way and then we only have to increase our vocabulary. But the real problem is that we do not organize our time. But we can listen to more videos, music, movies, news in English, we have to try to think more in English, search for the meaning of words that we do not know, and read more English books!
Hello I am Dayra Santos
ReplyDelete1. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make hen you write?
My most common mistakes are when using contractions and when I want to write in the third person, I do not correctly use capital letters and lowercase I stop writing words or write incorrect words do not place the cuestions mark.
2.Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
The baduse of the grammatical tenses the bad pronunciation of the words the production of the verbs in English in the present perfect, past participle, etc. It costs me to use new verbs.
3. Paragraph about the importance of having excellent grammar skills when writing and speaking.
Grammar in English is one of the most important aspects that we must know and develop when we learn a language. However, achieving an understanding is very complicated, it can take time and dedication to understand and internalize the grammar rules.
One of the best ways to improve grammatical ability is to understand how sentences are composed, they are composed of different types of times, however in this type of technique it is very important for us to practice grammatical ability, and the basic components such as nouns, verbs and personal pronouns
It is also important that we know the use of adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and defined and indefinite articles to be able to write and practice in a speech or essay.
There are also other types of techniques to develop grammatical skills. However, grammatical skills are important because communication depends on the way in which we can express ourselves in written form. When we practice or write daily we improve, we develop this ability to internalize the grammatical rules to be able to give an excellent reading comprehension.
1-) Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion we make many grammatical errors, why? for not respecting punctuation signs and spelling, it is very important to know when when you use each punctuation mark, so it is also very important to know how each punctuation mark is used, so they do not know any paragraph that you write.also when using the capital letter in a text.
2-) Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
First of all, do not have my ideas organized at the moment of speaking or transmitting an idea. Also the management of vocabularies.
3-) In my opinion I think it is very important to have a good grammatical base in English, so they will help you to make fewer mistakes and it would also improve a lot when you write.
How to reduce spelling errors at the time of writing?
1-) First point to learn to know the rules of the language very well.
2-) A lot of attention when you write.
3-) Review what you write.
4-) Use additional tools.
5-) Ask someone for help.
6-) Avoid mistakes when you write or when you chat
7-) The more you practice, the better you will write.
Hello I`m Jeryh Rodriguez.
ReplyDelete1. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
Well my most common mistake in grammar is that I usually forget the order in which the sentences or questions should go. Sometimes it is difficult for me to order certain sentences because I forget to read and understand the context in which it is.
2. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
At the time of speaking my most common mistake is the correct pronunciation of some words or verbs, and perhaps the order in which my answers should go.
3. Write a 250-word paragraph about the importance of having excellent grammar skills when writing and speaking. You can mention ways to reduce errors and improve your writing, being more skilled at editing it, until you grow completely confident at it
Having a correct writing is of the utmost importance since sometimes it often makes known the type of knowledge and teaching that has had during the learning process. In addition to having that ability helps the recipient of the message to receive more easily the message that you want to communicate through the words. Writers transmit their feelings through words, if we think of a badly written book, it is a misread book and misunderstood. If at the time of writing we do not do it correctly, the message may be distorted or misinterpreted. In the spoken field, doing it in an erroneous way usually implies that you do not have the necessary knowledge on the subject or even in everyday speech, be it at work, school, family, etc. To improve in these aspects
It is necessary to start by reading and be interested in learning new words and use them in the everyday environment, analyze the errors and try to improve them. Another way to improve this is to find ways in which it is easier for us to study or learn something new, for example; if you like reading, doing it more often will help you, if you like music try listening to audiobooks or reports to sharpen your sense of hearing. By improving these two skills your way of speaking will be better since you can use that knowledge acquired from others. An advantage of having a good skill when speaking or writing is that if you do it right you can easily persuade others and achieve many things.
1. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
ReplyDeleteWell... I think that my worst error is use some informal words or acronyms, abbreviations And like many people forget some rules at the moment to write something important like essay.

Write a 250-word paragraph about the importance of having excellent grammar skills when writing and speaking.
For me the importance of gammar is basically our first card of presentation could be in our job, as a teacher, as student, as a person who try to get a job, respect the grammar of whatever idiom is the best way to teach it, also when we have a correct grammar it's more easy to express ideas, it's a channel to bring a message to other person, also in my opinion I think that express our personality, our seriousness because when you see someone that suppose must write in a right way, but non. Drop the expectation
, as a person, professional, as student, and is a question to read and practice more, and write paragraphs, find for help, nowadays exist many ways to practice: app for cellphone, programs in computers, tasks, pages of Facebook, Instagram, books etc... And something important is wish do better our gramar.

I sometimes get confused with the spelling of some words for example write confuse without "d" or when I'm writing a paragraph in past and then I use a verb in the base form.
2. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
I think the problem is that I'm still thinking in Spanish so is difficult to speak with fluency because sometimes I say the adjective after a noun or I say things like the sister of Laura when I'd say Laura's sister.

Anybody could noticed that if you do not improve your grammar skills, that would be showed by the way that you speak and you write. It is very helpful when you have the vocabulary and the knowledge to apply them and have fluency in a communication without many mistakes and it is better to talk with a person who is applying all of the things needed to handle a new language, when you write something like a paragraph, text, etc, you need that too because if you do not have those strategies to write and the vocabulary to used it obviously you can write but your text will not be clear or understandably to the person who will read it. Also you can improve your writing and speaking skills when you read books and look at the structure of the sentences; when you watch news , movies or series because you can pay attention in how they make their dialogues; when you choose a workbook to exercise your English; nowadays when you download an application to practice your grammar, your vocabulary and your listening; and you can write essays, reports, texts in order to be better improving your skills. But all of these things are not going to help a person who do not want to do anything to improve themselves . As teachers or teacher in training we need to be able to learn everyday and improve everything that we are supposed to teach, clearly it only happens when you want to be a good one.

What grammatical mistakes do you usually make when you write?
I usually get confused in the use of prepositions, I have a lot to work on, now I have improved a lot, but what I really need is to learn all the verbs as possible.
What grammatical errors do you do most when you speak?
When I speak in English I start well, but then I feel that my bank of words is emptying, by then I see that I lack a lot of grammar practice, besides I speak well and the only thing I lack is practice.

You can mention ways to reduce errors and improve your writing, being more able to edit it, until you feel completely confident about it.
To begin the learning process of English is not difficult and not so easy, it is a learning process that we carry out during the process, and it is also important to know the grammatical rules, because one can not begin to learn from a important point such as: do the activities of practice and can be, listen to music in English, learn numbers in English, the English alphabet, read books in English, it is important to know that this race you like and be passionate about learning something new in your life, a bilingual person has opportunities of whatever kind, for example one can work as a translator, teacher, receptionist, with the government and much more.
Also today we lost many opportunities because we can not speak English, we do not know what will happen in the future, because English is evolving as if it were technology and I hope you understand the meaning of my comment

ReplyDelete1. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
My most common mistake in grammar is when I use personal pronouns when writing a paragraph, I also have problems in placing possessive pronoun and sometimes in object pronoun.
2. What grammatical errors do you do most when you speak?
One of my common mistakes is that I think about what I'm going to say if it's right or wrong I also have problems in my pronunciation, especially in irregular verbs and in unknown words.
PARAGRAPH
I think that in order to achieve better writing and a good pronunciation is to practice every day, whether reading books, watching TV in English, learning new words every day since this way we can store different techniques to improve both in writing and in the form of express ourselves we also help each other listening to music with their respective lyrics in English and thus learn new ideas and enrich our writing and helping each day to have a better understanding also another important tool is the use of the dictionary and also improve our writing on the other hand is important do all the homework assigned by the teacher also so we improve our writing also a good pronunciation also not be afraid to express themselves when talking with other people.

In my opinion, as humans we always want to say something and make us ears , but how can this happen if we don't have good grammar skill when we talk or write? Grammar skills are important because, if we don't say or write the right things, people can get confused about what we are trying to say. We always have to try to speak and write clearly, that's why people like writers and speakers get to Inspire people. As young people sometimes dismissed the grammar but I think the in real world we can not act like it's not important. We need grammar in our daily life because when we write or talk we are giving impressions to others and it's depends on grammar if this are good or bad. Also I think that grammar skills show our habilities to follow rules and patterns.
I think the best way to improve our grammatical skills is reading, but a meticulous reading where we can understand the meaning of the reading and what are they trying to say, discovered new words and look for them in a dictionary. Then we can read it at loud and felt every pause and others punctuation marks. We can also go to reading and speaking workshops and get inspired by others.
What grammatical mistakes do you usually make when you write?
ReplyDeletemy biggest mistake when I write is that sometimes I think in Spanish so I often make grammatical mistakes.
Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
Well my mistake when I speak is the same as when I write because sometimes I think in Spanish and that's why I'm afraid to speak. I think my classmates are going to laugh at me. Another mistake is that I forget the grammar rules.

In my opinion it is important that a person possess good skills or competences in writing and speaking because if we talk about our profession it would be essential that we as teachers handle the grammar rules because we will use them not only for our own learning but also that we will transmit to our future students since it is fundamental because our teaching is based on that because if we have an excellent scriptural and grammatical speech it will be super easy to share our knowledge and if we possess such abilities people will be able to understand what we we want to transmit to him since our teaching will have a logic to follow. If we have grammatical errors and we want to eliminate those errors, a technique would be to verify in the dictionary the word that we think we write or pronounce incorrectly another option would be the search for synonyms of words that confuse us another very important thing and that we should definitely do is try to read more since this strengthens our vocabulary first we start reading short texts carefully little by little so we can observe how each word or each sentence is written, we must exercise our writing at the time of writing we must review what we have written, and try to write and speak frequently correct either by whatsapp or another app, another very important thing is also that you must take care of what you read. Since spelling errors read over and over again will make you doubt the correct form of writing.

ReplyDelete1. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
Grammar errors that commonly make when I write are; when I use "me" and "I" when I use connectors and when use punctuation.
2. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
Grammar errors when speaking are the pronunciation, the sounds of the vowels "i" and "e" and the fear of public speaking.
Paragraph
Knowing that communication is essential but that is an activity that we only develop with an attitude, which is fundamental to achieve the success we seek. It is important that we know and apply the grammatical rules, the use of the main orthographic rules, the meaning of the words, since this is how we are going to develop the capacity for effective written and oral communication for personal growth and social interaction.
It has been remarkable the difficulty that is had in terms of the pronunciation and meaning of the words, as well as the difficulty of writing, in order to reduce these difficulties we must apply:
1. Basic cognitive and linguistic strategies for the accurate interpretation of oral and contextual messages.
2. Participate in the usual tasks and relationships in the classroom, using the language moderated by the teacher.
3. Read and comment on all kinds of reading.
4. Role play.
5. Use personal vocabulary and English dictionaries to discover the meaning of words.
6. Practice reading every day.
7. Underline when reading.
8. Identify the main ideas.
9. Analyzing the illustrations or photographs is a resource that allows you to better understand the text.
10. Use the voice in a pleasant way.
11. Practice writing and speaking inside and outside the University.

ReplyDelete1.Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
My mistakes when writing are confusing similar words, end grammar do not remember sentence structure. At the time of writing a text my big mistake is to think in Spanish how to formulate the sentence is very wrong to do that. A very common mistake in me is in the connectors it's hard for me to understand that.
2. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
First big mistake is to think in Spanish what I'm going to say a little in the pronunciation of vocabulary, I need a lot of practice in not practicing the structure of grammar be afraid when talking about not being able to say a word or when I'm not sure what I'm going to say. It is very important to read practice grammar, because there is all the rules structure of how to talk about how to ask and how to answer.
Importance in having excellent grammar skills when writing and speaking. Because you hear a very good conversation I have to find ways to make it easier for me to practice reading, to read, to do exercises to help me a lot to find the ability to speak and write well. And thus avoid making many mistakes when speaking and writing. And a tip not to think in Spanish what you're going to write or speak, think in English and write It is the most important in the language.
As teachers that we are in the learning process we have to pay close attention to each new experience, in each class, activity that will help us to better speak and write

ReplyDeleteWhich grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
Sometimes I have problems in the structure when writing questions, I forget some grammar rules, or the use of some irregular verbs.
Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak? One of my problems when speaking in English is thinking in Spanish which makes me unable to speak fluently, I am also affected by the lack of knowledge of new words in my vocabulary.
Write a 250-word paragraph about the importance of having excellent grammar skills when writing and speaking.
I think that, like in any language, it is necessary to have a good handling of grammar both to speak and to write, since doing so avoids many confusions. in our case that we are professors in process it is even more imperative to have an excellent use of these skills because we will teach others English as a second language. for this I think it is necessary to study a lot to have a good handling of information, to practice a lot either reading books, texts, dictionaries, magazines, documents that help the eye as is the use of the structure of the language in everyday life, the meaning of each word without whichIt would be impossible to apply them to our conversations or writings, also with audios, songs, movies, or lectures that help us sharpen our sense by listening to the language of different people and trying to acquire more and better understanding, write a lot formemorize the correct writing of words, phrases, sentences, questions, answers, etc. all this in order to achieve acquire the necessary grammatical skills to the point of carrying them out in the most natural way possible. I also think that when learning a second language it is important to have a balance of both theory and practice because in many occasions it is given that people want to learn the new language but they worry too much about the theoretical and the rules and have a hard time carrying so much informatioto practice, such as when you are a child that none when you speak thinks no rules simply speaks and if it is wrong is corrected and repeats and repeats and repeats until it reaches a point that speaks well. This is what happens on many occasions people who can perfectly master the language when speaking it but have no knowledge of the importance of good grammar rules at all times.
Hello, I'm Esther Travieso.
ReplyDelete1. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
My problem is that I do not have much vocabulary, I need to know more words so that my English is fluent.
I also have another problem and, I think a lot in Spanish and that's why I make many grammatical errors.
2. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you Speak?
My problem is that when I speak, I think in Spanish and translate and that's why the grammar will never go well, when I speak I forget the order of the words and the words in the past are costing me to pronounce already at the moment of speaking I do not pronounce in the past but in present I forget that changes my ideas are dispersed.
3. Write a 250- word paragraph about the importance of having excellent grammar skills when writing and speaking. You can mention está to reduce errors and improve your writting, being more skilled at editing it, until you grow completely confident at it.
Knowledge of grammar matters a lot in spoken languaje.
The people often make mistake during their spoken language.
This is because of instant cognitive decision of mind which focuses more on that thought than the grammatical structure and there are mistakes in spoken language. This problem can be effectively manipulated and controlled by practice and by following the proverb "think before you speak". It means speaking with slow pace.
It al depends on the purpose of speaking English. If an English teacher is making mistakes and she/he should study grammar, and especially the grammar of speech. If the person uses English to simply communicate then mistakes are no major problem.
Studyin grammar should go together with a reasonable amount of controlled and freer practice as the direct method suggests. Particular care should be posed during the controlled practice of the grammar structures that are being studied in order to ovoid mistakes and fossillization in the speaking practice fase.
Also to have a better grammar it's good to read book, maganizes, trials, articles, on television programs in English and the dictionary is very important, practice every day our English will help us in our English.
Hi, My name is Elsa Gonzalez.
ReplyDelete1. In my opinion the grammar errors is when i think the words in Spanish. So that is terrible. It isn't true because if i want to have nice writing i will need to think in English so i could to write correctly.
2. my grammar errors most commonly when i speak is the pronunciation and i don't have a lot of vocabulary. For example When the teacher give us a topic i want to give my opinion but i can't give because i don't know the pronunciation of any words.
3. For me is really important have excellent grammar when you writing and speaking because the grammar is the base form to can express your opinion the different topic or specific information.If you have a good grammar , you'll can understand everything and you'll answer of a exactly way. I think that to learn other language the most important is learning a good grammar. So, the grammar incluying vocabulary, times, verbs, adverbs, conectors and rules that you have to respect.
To can learn the grammar of a language you need understand what is verbs? what is the subject? and which are the position of them in the clause. I think if you can do it,you'll have better comprehension.
the firt way to reduce errors is know the principal element which is composed by a clause. We need to know a lot of vocabulary and you should practice the pronunciation when you want to speak.
another way is listen to music in English, Watch movie in English and resd many books in English everyday. for us is important to know and have a excellent grammar because we'll be a English teacher. Then we'll need to explain ours students the base form grammatical of the language.
Hello my name is Christhoper Najera
ReplyDelete1) Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
I think the most common mistake when I write is in the connectors and third-party rules.
2)Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
my only and very common mistake that I usually commit is thinking in Spanish before I speak it in English.
It is one of the most important skills in which we must and we have to take it as something sufficient for development as teacher fugitives, since with this we will know how to write; assignments of essays and assigned assignments of teaching materials, with this ability we would be able to be more creative with words and order, I feel that as a future educator this would serve as an instrument, not only for having it if not something as a talent, or for the people that we like what is the scriptures or some beautiful readings, we know that today in diatu it becomes difficult to know how to learn to develop this skill and make it as a habit not only to do is to do it because you want to achieve it, learn it by necessity and feel it, many times we get confused in doing something because it is implemented as a daily routine, and gives every day, in the end it becomes monotonous, without knowing what it bores. I know there are things that cost or there are times where our mind is too hard or the ugly memento is presented in it goes blank and we do not have to do, I say this because at the end of what it costs something usually happens

I think and grammar is a way of expressing many things, using communication, I know that we are not equally directive so as to save so many words in our minds and likewise parrots to impact words,
thanks to the student life we have the help of many teachers that allows us to understand when we want to say something, like when we started aclases learn English but we do not know how to say things, in a few words Grammar is the most important skill we can learn to use as
1. Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
ReplyDeleteBefore begin the comment about which grammar errors do I most commonly make when I write, I would like to add that: for me has been a very long way could reach the level of English that I have right now. Honestly be a bilingual person have been a hard challenge but I still learning and I´m so glad for being receiving this class. I feel that I will learn a lot and I will correct a lot of mistakes that I make when I speak and even when I right too. I learned English by myself and it wasn´t easy I didn´t have a teacher who can correct me but I didn´t give up I kept up moving forward, even when sometimes I felt so embarrassed about my pronunciation and my grammar because I say the sentences according how I learned. The process was hard but here I am, now I work as a bilingual teacher in a bilingual school. I correct my students their mispronunciation or their misspelling and I know that I need to improve in a lot of things in grammar. I learned grammar reading books, in lyrics songs, in movies, in series, my favorite one of the last one I mentioned is the tv show ``Friends``. the movies, series and lyrics songs help a lot. The errors that I made or probably I could say that I still do, those errors are the use of the verb that may be I´m talking in present and I say the sentences in past or I add ´´ING´´ where is not necessary. I also not sure where goes a dot (.) or punctuation sign as (,: ; .) and I confuse when I read them. But here I am to learn. I´m so anxious.
2.Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
When I speak the most commonly error that I make is… That I used to talk a lot and also I used to do it fast so for trying to doing fast I forget the verb the word or the things that I´m saying but I consider that help your improvement and help to have more fluency. But that error I have it in Spanish too. For talking so fast that I confused the sentences, because I don´t think before to speak. But that´s an important thing that I have to do to improve my speaking.
3.3. Write a 250-word paragraph about the importance of having excellent grammar skills when writing and speaking. You can mention ways to reduce errors and improve your writing, being more skilled at editing it, until you grow completely confident at it.
Honestly this is easy to know how you could have an excellent grammar: obviously studying a lot and practicing. That´s important because you always will learn something new. So you have to focus in what you want to transmit to others. Because If you only want to speak for speak or you want to do it as the way it is you must to study a lot, not only study you have to practice too, I consider that having excellent grammar skills when you write and speaking is very important it helps you to transmit a message and be understood according to what you try to mean. If you know that you lack of vocabulary practice to not only sentences in English, you must read in English like: books, magazines, you should watch videos in English, movies in English, Learn the lyrics of the songs practice them, if you want to copy them in a book and memorize them and practice and create sentences or circumstances where you can be into it. When you speak try it always to do it as an American person don´t make mistake and will improve your knowledge and fluency. Read is also very important not just talk and talk and share information. Read what you are saying repeat it until you get it. When you speak must be carefully what you’re saying just try to combine the Verb according to the time that the action happened and you will see how much better you will express yourself and will be impress to everyone and will inspire them.

ReplyDelete1.when, I am writing, I don´t know when I have to use present continuous or simple present, I have a lot of trouble with which preposition, I can use. I sometimes forget the how I´am writing the spelling words. I sometimes have an idea in spanish then I want to write in English, but I cannot.
ReplyDelete2.When I´am speaking, I forget say,she instead he, I have a lot of trouble with pronunciation words, I don´t have too much fluency, I sometimes I´ am confusing about the verbal tense.
3. If I have a good skills of grammar, I can apply them, speaking well, I can improve my knowledge in english reading book every day, listening videos about grammar, try speaking with others peoples that had known the english idiom, I think in English, then I write in English, I have to know all rules about grammar and then apply them, when I´am reading in English, I should try understand each sentence, if there are a lot of unknown words, I need to look for in the dictionary, then I tray learn each word for expand my vocabulary.
hello good night Mr. I'm Kellin Melissa Cruz
ReplyDeleteI think the most commonly errors that I make when I write are: sometimes I forget to use plural, I don't remember so good the past of verbs.
2.- The grammar error that I make most commonly when I speak are I don't have a clear idea and for that I sometime mix the present perfect and past, sometimes I forget the subjects. I don't know what's happen with me? because when I try to speak English with the teachers or unknowns I make a lot of mistake but when I speak with friends I'm a good speaker I speak a lot and fluency when I am with friends I have fewer mistakes.
3.- I belive that person who have a good grammar is a person easy to find because when you are listening someone else speaking you can understand also is the same when you read, such as if someone makes mistake when is writing then when you want or need to read you can't read that because doesn't have sense and sometimes you don't know when was the action, now I'm teacher in training but if i want to be a good teacher i need to have a good grammar not only for writing also for speaking i think many ways that people can use to learn english of improve their skills, there are a lot of applications that people can use, other thing that maybe we can use are listen to music because you listen the sound and you can read the lyrics. other good idea is watch moves in english or other languages (different than english or spanish) and translate it to english)

ReplyDeleteWhich grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
A: While writing the most common or frequent grammar mistakes that I can commit are:
1) Misspelling of unknow words: whenever I try to use more complex or technical vocabulary I can sometimes commit some mistakes in the spelling of those words making the sentence not to have sense or difficult to understand.
2) Confusing the order of the adjectives and adverbs as we all know the usage of adjectives and adverbs have a certain order at the moment of making a sentence, this order have the function of letting the sentence to be comprehensible enough to whoever person that wants to read or work without missing the important details of object we are describing.
3) *Wrong use of the verb changes: sometimes when we try to make a paragraph describing a personal experience we somehow confused the tenses and change we need to give to the verb in some cases we use it in its base form unconsciously because we have lost the track of our history.
4) Not checking or re-read what we have just wrote: when we are finishing to write our paragraph for laziness we don't read what we have wrote and as a result we don't correct some parts of our writing that does not make sense when reading and so we fail at the moment to transmit our ideas to our futures readers.
Which grammar errors do you most commonly make when you speak?
At some point in our lives we needed to give a speech or presentation in or out of our classrooms and so as we speak some thoughts or ideas just come to our mind and ended to say them carelessly without thinking if our idea is spoke clear enough for our audience to understand and so here are some common mistakes we make:
1) mispronunciation of verbs in past tense: this is the most common error we can make because sometimes we usually forget the rules for the changes of those regular and irregular verbs since the changes applied in them are just slightly different.
2) Wrong grammar organization in some sentences: this is usual on first starters speakers when they try to say a sentence which was thought on Spanish first and then translated to English, when this happen a wrong order of grammar structure is committed and usually It confuses the listeners.
Paragraph
The importance of having excellent grammar skills when we are writing and speaking is that the message or the idea we can give to another person will be clearest than if we don’t have development the grammar skills other reason to improve the grammar skill is we could have more opportunities in the labor sphere, to noticed of important od develop grammar skills we have to know which are the benefits that can help us in our life, I really think that we can impression a person if we speak and write correctly and as a future teacher of English teaching we must speak perfectly or ty it because if we don’t have develop grammar skills our students won’t understand us or they could think that we aren’t prepared. The grammar helps you to have a better use of a language, English in this case but how can we have a really good grammar? Practicing!

As tips or hack to improve in grammar we have to use the dictionary, tell somebody correct you if you comet a mistake, practice your speaking and writing, study a lot, and pay attention in class.

ReplyDeleteWhich grammar errors do you most commonly make when you write?
My most common mistakes are not knowing the meaning of some words. I always commit a mistake when I use the verbs, more in past tense, or past participle. sometimes when I use the connectors. or when I use the possessive. I hope to improve my Grammar in this class.

We need to know that we are going to be teachers and our work will depend of our skills. I think in Spanish and that makes my message is not correct and the sender understands something else.so when I try to express my own ideas start to make errors. for example, forget some words, bad pronunciation, or difficulty to transmit my message.

For me the importance of grammar is basically our first card of presentation could be in our job, as a teacher, as student, as a person who try to get a job, respect the grammar of whatever idiom is the best way to teach it, also when we have a correct grammar it's more easy to express ideas, it's a channel to bring a message to other person, also in my opinion I think that express our personality, our seriousness because when you see someone that suppose must write in a right way, but non.
The grammar helps you to have a better use of a language, English in this case but how can we have a really good grammar? Practicing! We have to practice every day or in our case we also have to study because if we don’t study we wont learn also we have to search another way to practice or study we cannot learn if we just go to class and keep only with teacher teach us in other words we must have develop grammar skills you could think you speak and write perfectly but we could comet a lot of mistakes but we cannot noticed because people don’t correct us so we have to be autonomous.

I believe that person who have a good grammar is a person easy to find because when you are listening someone else speaking you can understand also is the same when you read, such as if someone makes mistake when is writing then when you want or need to read you can't read that because doesn't have sense and sometimes you don't know when was the action, now I'm teacher in training but if i want to be a good teacher i need to have a good grammar. You can mention ways to reduce errors and improve your writing, being more skilled at editing it, until you grow completely confident at it. Honestly this is easy to know how you could have an excellent grammar: obviously studying a lot and practicing. That´s important because you always will learn something new. So you have to focus in what you want to transmit to others. After several years i believe i have improved and mastered some of this stuff because i have received several compliments and fewer comments correcting my work. At the end of all this what i can recommend people is to get involved into a community in English, if at some point you don't understand ask, and if you received an answer and you fill lost, this is when you will have to use a dictionary or ask saint google the use and definition of your troubled matter. We can improve our grammar skills using apps, using dictionaries, reading books.
