| People generally tell me that my grammar is terrible, but when I read every message I read in English, I don't even tell what is wrong. Are they rules to know? Do they matter that much? And especially what is included in the grammar? |
 |
| uh well grammar is usually only important in a professional situation (at least, to a degree). As long as you can speak/write in a way that people can understand what you're saying, it doesn't really matter. |

| If I can understand you; we cool. But Just a touch of a typing accent can actually be kinda cute. That's probably just me, though. People who grew up speaking english are the only ones who are gonna be able to tell when it's slight enough to be cute at any rate. You can spot bad grammar from someone who actually speaks english a mile away too. That's almost always a bit of a put off for whatever reason. Someone out there gets what I'm talking about I'm sure. |
| Here, let me fix the grammar in your post, and change the wording as well to make the sentence flow better. People generally tell me that my grammar is terrible, but when I read my English, I can't even tell what is wrong. Are there any rules to follow? Do they matter much? And I don't really understand what you're specifically trying to say with your last sentence. |
| Grammar isn't something that you can get by reading or memorizing a few rules, it's something you pick up when you immerse yourself in the language. Now, of course you can read about all the grammatical rules in the English language, but there are chances that you will still make mistakes. Those mistakes are eliminated when you read a lot, listen to the language etc. I don't have the commitment, desire or the time to memorize all of the English grammar rules, but it's something that I inherently know because of reading books as a kid and whatnot. Keep trying, you'll get it eventually. |

If you want to learn proper grammar, buy a textbook, or take an English class (English classes are pretty bad; most would probably require two levels to actually learn all of the relevant rules) Insanius said: Grammar isn't something that you can get by reading or memorizing a few rules, it's something you pick up when you immerse yourself in the language.

However, you cannot deny how helpful learning more about the language is. |
| Grammer: the whole system and structure of a language or of languages in general, usually taken as consisting of syntax and morphology (including inflections) and sometimes also phonology and semantics. |
