Build Your English Skills

4 dias atrás
Think of your English as a tall building you are building step by step, not a big, messy pile of words.

A simple way to see fluency
Instead of memorizing random vocabulary or difficult idioms, imagine you are building a strong, comfortable building. First you make the base, then you add the structure, then you decorate and live in it. When you follow this order, your English becomes stronger and easier to use every day.
Step 1: Make the foundation
Every building begins with a solid base, and your base in English is SVOMPT: Subject–Verb–Object–Manner–Place–Time.
This basic word order is like concrete and metal beams; it keeps everything together so your sentences do not “fall down” or sound confusing.
When you learn this structure well, you can quickly make clear sentences such as “I watched a movie quietly at home last night.”
Step 2: Turn on the power (verbs & tenses)
When the foundation is ready, you “turn on” the building.
Simple tenses (present, past, future) are like electricity and water; they bring movement and life to your sentences.
With them, you move from “I movie yesterday” to “I watched a movie yesterday,” which sounds complete and natural.
Step 3: Use the intercom (Wh‑ questions)
A real building needs people to communicate, not just walls.
When you learn to ask who, what, where, when, why, and how, you stop speaking only in statements and start real conversations.
These questions help you connect with people and keep the “lift” of communication going up and down.
Step 4: Decorate the inside (modals)
Now it is time to decorate and create a warm feeling.
Modal verbs like can, should, must, might are like paint and lights that add feeling and politeness to your message.
They help you move beyond facts: “You must go now,” “You might like this book,” or “I can help you,” each with a different tone.
Step 5: Build the hallways (connecting ideas)
A building is not useful if the rooms are not connected.
Words such as and, but, because, although, however, so are your hallways and stairs.
They help your ideas flow more smoothly: “I was tired, but I finished my homework because the exam was important.”
Step 6: Add higher‑level structures
The higher floors have more complex design.
Conditionals let you talk about possibilities and dreams: “If I study every day, my English will improve.”
The passive voice changes the focus of the sentence, like turning the light to another place in the room: “The movie was filmed in London.”
Step 7: Live in the top floor (social language)
At the very top is the place you really want to live: easy, natural communication.
Here, grammar feels automatic; you are not thinking about every small rule.
You chat, tell stories, make jokes, and handle real‑life situations comfortably—simply enjoying the “view” from your fluent English building.
