Hello. I'm Julian Northbrook from https://doingenglish.com, coming to you today from my nice, bright, very light New York apartment. How can I maintain correct grammar while speaking, comes a question.
Okay. This is a good question. But to an extent, the answer is always going to be, it depends. Because it depends on you, what exactly is that you're struggling with, and why you are having problems with grammar when you're speaking. And this is why all of my courses, all of my programs include a coaching element because 80% of what everybody needs to do to improve their English is going to be exactly the same, but it tends to be that 20% that is customized to you specifically which will have the biggest breakthroughs because they are targeted exactly to the problems you are having.
However, the quick and dirty, in a nutshell answer to this question is if you are struggling with grammar, it is likely because, ironically enough, you are too focused on grammar. Now, we used to think that native speakers produced language by computing grammar rules in their heads, combining them with individual words to make sentences, but this never really made that much sense because working memory, the bit of your brain that processes shit is actually quite limited. And we shouldn't be able to speak as fluently, as rapidly as we do. Not only this, but grammar is not enough to explain why native speakers speak so naturally. Why do we say, "Could you help me with this?" And not, "Would you aid me with this task?" Both of which are perfectly grammatical, but one sounds weird, the other doesn't. Why do we say things like, "Thanks very much," which technically speaking is ungrammatical.
Well, it's because native speakers actually aren't speaking like this at all. What we actually do is store big blocks of language in long-term memory. And we then pull those out and we use them as is when we are speaking. This allows us to speak rapidly, fluently, and in a native-like way.
So, to put things simply, if you want to speak like native speakers do, I.E. fluently and naturally with, well, correct grammar, although that's actually a flawed concept because again, things like, "Thanks very much," technically ungrammatical, as are a lot of things that native speakers say, well, you should be learning to speak in the way that native speakers actually speak. I.E. In chunks of language, not grammar rules and individual words. Or to put this another way, you are studying grammar because you believe you have a problem with grammar, not realizing that studying grammar is actually creating a problem with grammar. Does that make sense?
Essentially, if you want to get different results, I.E. you want to change the grammaticality, the naturalness, the fluency of your English, well, you need to change your approach and simply studying more grammar rules and trying to plug words into those, like you've always done, is not really going to help with that.
