Re:How to be better at english grammar?
Hi, Michelle!
We Americans don't know our own grammar, so don't worry! You're not alone. ;)
The best advice I could give you for English grammar is to find some YouTube content in English that you like so that you can listen to it. You'll get more slang from individual channels, but news organizations like CNN will have reporters with good grammar. Just don't look to our current president for an example if he ever comes on.
Khan Academy also has free English grammar lessons targeted at native speakers, but they're slow enough to understand for non-native speakers. My boyfriend used Khan a lot to study for his upper-level writing class at our university, and he really loved it. It helped him a LOT with the mechanics (that's what we call our written grammar rules).
The more you read in English, too, the better. It helps to read out loud so you can start to internalize what the language and structure sounds like. It also might help you distinguish certain words in context. As you have probably learned, English is a language with many exceptions.
Basically, the more exposure the better. I hope this helped a bit!
