How should middle school students treat and learn English basic grammar correctly?

English grammar, especially basic English grammar, is of course to be learned. Because grammar is a law summed up in English language practice, it systematically summarizes English language phenomena. For middle school students who have a certain foundation in Chinese grammar, learning grammar helps to make fewer grammatical mistakes and learn English well as soon as possible. However, grammar, after all, is summed up from the practice of language and should precede the language. Just like studying physics, chemistry and biology, we have mastered many laws about nature, which can help us to know more about nature. However, these laws are the product of people's understanding of nature, and it is by no means that nature has already emerged before these laws exist. The ultimate goal of learning English grammar is to learn to use English, not to master grammar items. If you leave English practice, listen, speak, read and write a lot, study grammar unilaterally and in isolation, and use grammar articles or recite grammar terms too much, grammar will become a dead dogma. Some students are influenced by this. When learning English, they spend most of their time learning grammar definitions and rules. Even simple sentences, they have to analyze them too carefully. For example, for the United States, men can't have too many ties. Some students have heard that when China learns Chinese, he can listen, speak, read and write without learning grammar first. Learning English requires reading, remembering, listening and speaking more. It doesn't matter if you don't learn grammar. This statement sounds reasonable, because it is based on learning Chinese in China. In fact, this view of belittling grammar is also wrong. Indeed, we in China don't learn Chinese from grammar. Each of us has been learning to speak with our parents since childhood, and then we go to school, take part in work and go to society. The improvement of Chinese level mainly depends on many other channels rather than a little knowledge of language and grammar learned in Chinese class. But students should not forget that Chinese is our mother tongue. We have lived in the ocean of Chinese since we were born. In such a good learning environment, except for the deaf, the others, whether clever or almost, generally speak China very well. English is not a foreign language. Our conditions for learning English cannot be compared with those for learning Chinese. Therefore, it is impossible for most people in China to learn English by learning Chinese. Moreover, students have just begun to learn English, and when they accept a new language, they will always be disturbed by Chinese (mother tongue) habits, which is very difficult. We can only learn basic grammar while doing a lot of listening, speaking, reading and writing training. When we learn grammar knowledge, we will reduce the time of groping alone and master many rules in English more consciously. For example, the difference between the present perfect tense and the general past tense is this: the present perfect tense indicates the influence or result of an action that happened in the past on the present, and emphasizes the present situation, so it cannot be used with adverbials indicating the past time. The general past tense only expresses past actions or states, and has nothing to do with the present. It can be used with adverbials of past time. Clarify this difference, and you won't write a wrong sentence like the movie I saw last week. What I have said above are two wrong views on grammar. Neither of them understood the correct relationship between grammar and language, nor did they understand the position that grammar should occupy in language. Only when we have a correct understanding of grammar ideologically can we have a correct way to learn grammar. After having a correct understanding of English grammar, there is the problem of learning grammar. Here are three points for your reference. First, learn grammar with sentence patterns. I just started learning English. You can't start with grammar. You must have some perceptual knowledge of English as the foundation. Learning and memorizing English sentence patterns is a good way to increase English perceptual knowledge. There are some typical sentence patterns in the reading part of each unit in middle school textbooks. If you practice these sentence patterns, you will lay the foundation for learning grammar projects. Therefore, students should focus on learning these sentence patterns, practice them in various ways, and apply them to daily life. When you practice these sentence patterns to a skilled level, and then learn the grammar provisions, it will come naturally. Second, focus on grammatical analysis of difficult sentences and long sentences. Some students think that every sentence they have learned should be analyzed grammatically when they see the teacher analyzing some sentences in class. This view is wrong, and it is not clear why they want to analyze sentences grammatically. The purpose of grammatical analysis of sentences is to better grasp the sentence structure, so as to have a profound and accurate understanding of sentences. For some short sentences, if you understand their meaning, you don't need to analyze them. If you don't understand its meaning, this sentence is a difficult sentence for you. This needs to be analyzed by grammar. what do you have to say? If you know that saying is an attribute, you should have a concise grammar book. Some students asked: Do you want to be familiar with a grammar book? We think it is necessary for middle school students to have a concise grammar book at hand. However, grammar books are for reference when encountering difficulties, and there is no need to read them carefully. If possible, you can browse and have a general understanding of the whole basic English grammar. As for grammar rules, as long as you understand them, you don't need to recite them. It is important to learn to use them step by step. It would be great if you can get grammar knowledge from reading materials and do it often. Don't read more grammar books. It is better to read more English books than to read more grammar books; It is better to recite the text than to recite the grammar rules.
