Three Basic Elements to Speak English

Dear Learners of English
In order to say a sentence in English, you should know the Three Basic Elements:

  • The Tense.
  • The Word order.
  • The Vocabulary.

The Tense. 
If you want to explain something and to be understood, you should use a proper English grammar tense, one of the twelve tenses.
In fact the more educated you are the more tenses you are able to speak with.
But, for a start learn these four: three Simple and the Present Continuous Tenses. With these four you can say anything you need to describe past present and future events and future intentions (Present Continuous). This is a must, a necessary minimum.
Some even native speakers have hardly any ideas of the total number of the tenses or the names of the ones they use (tested and checked, trust me).

The Word Order.
Simple sentences in English have a strict word order for affirmative, interrogative and negative forms. Learn them and you'll be safe til the moment you feel the impulse of getting ahead towards more complicated (advanced) English.

The Vocabulary.

Record your native command of the language during the day, fix the words you use for daily life situations, be amazed by a limited amount of your vocabulary and make a list of the same words in English.
Learn them and you'll be happy till the instant you have upgraded yourself mentally to the level when you started speaking a more sophisticated native language. This will inevitably lead you to a better English performance desired.

Pronunciation???
It's the talk of the next post.
Till then,
Bye-bye
