Grammar, spelling, sentence structure...basic English?

I totally agree with you.  I'm an "editor" and do find that too many people have not engaged spelling and sentence structure.  Are the "grade schools" teaching this properly? \nDon't people care about their writing techniques anymore???\nIt's a real shame!!!

Show a paragraph or sentence that has improper grammar and incorrect punctuation and have the students rewrite the paragraph or sentence with the proper grammar and punctuation.\n\nExample:\nPractice Sentences\n1. They be the best drawings I ever seen.\n2. Our bus arrived in miami at 320p.m., and we was very tired.\n3. Wow The beaches in Cancun are nice.\n\nAnswers:\n1. They are the best drawings I have ever seen.\n2. Our bus arrived in Miami at 3:20 p.m., and we were very tired.\n3. Wow! The beaches in Cancun are gorgeous.

"Grammar"\n\nIn the second half of your continueing sentence you are referring back to the first half when it should be treated as two seperate sentences at a minimum.

Well, first of all, while on a computer, use the spell check so you don't spell 'grammar' as 'grammer'.  This is a common mistake though.\n\nThen, do just as everyone here has recommended:  READ, READ, READ!  Also, be sure to read different genres of materials so that you are exposed to multiple types of structure as well as complex vocabulary:  IE:  classical literature and poetry vs. science fiction.  \n\nI would also visit some of the suggested websites for some editing practice.  Another one that I haven't seen suggested here is Dave's ESL Cafe.  You may wish to become pen pals with a native English speaker as well.  Note however, that there will be a vast difference in the English you encounter with a British person vs. an American, vs. Indian, etc.  You may wish to have several pen pals so you gain exposure to all the different dialects.  I would not mind corresponding with you if you so desire.  I am a bilingual teacher with five years experience, and never mind helping someone who is seriously intent on learning another language.\n\nGood luck to you!

What about proper English composition?

In my experience a clear accent and proper sentence formation (i.e. words in the right order, although this can be subjective) really help. Using slang does not really help as it can often be wrongly used - as you say grammar and vocabulary are key.

Yes, and considering the way 90% of the people on here have no idea how to spell basic words, let alone how to use it. I only wish there was a grammar check also.

You seem to be interested in learning English.  May I point out that every English sentence needs a subject and a verb.  You forgot to put a verb in your question.  As it is, it does not even provide enough clues to guess at what you want to know.  Try again.

NONE! But you need some English/grammar lessons!

You should have written, "Could you please teach me, or advise me about my grammar mistakes?  My grammar is bad so I want you to correct my grammar if I have made any mistakes."\n\nThis is just a start.  I would recommend that you read and read and read - things like Readers Digest and newspapers should help.  The reading level is not too difficult and they are written using pretty good grammar.  The more you read good clear writing the more your grammar will improve.\n\nI've attached a few websites that should be helpful to you.  Good luck with it.
