Grammar is an essential part of a language. Mastering English grammar is a must for everybody who wants to communicate in English fluently. There are a lot of books in the bookstores where learners can buy to study grammar. When I was a university student, I bought English Grammar in Use - a self study reference and practice book for intermediate students of English. It was around 17 years ago. When I review grammar books that are suitable for intermediate level courses, I still see that Raymond Murphy's books are still relevant.
Another book that I should recommend to you is The Oxford English Grammar. The author of the book is Sydney Greenbaum. Oxford is a great name in the ears of English learners. When we hear this name we will remember Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, The New Oxford Picture Dictionary and various other dictionaries.

English Grammar Practice

Practicing grammar every day is essential for beginning English learners to master this international language. There are a few steps that you need to do before trying to answer quizzes or exercises provided in this Englishland's website: Study the grammar rules: Before starting to answer a number of grammar exercises provided in the web-pages of this website, you need to study the rules related to each topic that I discuss here. For example, if you want to answer quiz on how much and how many, you need to know the chapter in Grammar text books that discuss Countable and Uncountable (non-count) nouns. If you have read the topic, carefully analyze the sentences, phrases and patterns of every component that composed a sentence. Answer the sample exercises
After you have studied the grammar rules, try to answer questions or exercises provided by the grammar books in later pages. If you use English Grammar in Use (written by Raymond Murphy) then the exercises are presented on right hand pages. For elementary level, the answer keys are provided at the back pages of the book.

Every student of English who enters this website will see that we have a lot of English learning materials in each category ranging from conversation to reading comprehension and from TOEIC preparation to TOEFL preparation. In all of the lessons, English grammar rules have always been included. So, while you study TOEFL preparation, you also study the grammar rules.

English Grammar Online

Englishland has provided various grammar explanation and exercises through her online service since 2004. Previously the grammar quizzes were prepared using Macromedia Flash technology for TOEIC test questions. Unfortunately, such grammar exercises cannot be read or indexed by search engine. So, they could not easily be found by learners of English on the internet.
To improve our service to students of English language, we change our test platform from Flash based into Java Script based using Hot Potato software. We believe that the English Grammar Practice which we present in this website can now be indexed easily by the search engines. Online English Grammar test questions that have been developed here have been adapted to meet the demand of most of our test takers who are in the basic and elementary levels. But we don't close the possibilities of presenting more difficult grammar exercises in the future.

Reading English Magazine

Reading English magazines is good to improve our English ability. By reading we can find many new words that we are not familiar with. There are many free magazines that we can download from the internet. We can also order new ones from English publishers. These magazines contain various articles ranging from music, culture to politics and economics. English magazine such as Cool English is published in Russia. It is good for young adults. Some of the old editions of Cool English can be downloaded from Ebookee by typing the magazine's name.

Learning English by Blogging

Learning English does not always have to do with attending English classes, or reading grammar books. We can study English through many ways. We can chat with people on the internet, we can take free English course that are available on the internet. Or we can write blogs. When we blog, we should not have to worry about grammar or spelling. We just need to write short articles. First we can use word processor such as Microsoft Word. If we make mistakes in spelling or grammar, it will inform us by showing red or green underlines on a word or sentences.
