Anyone good at English here??

So this is the only subject in HS i really struggle with..I have no clue why, but i study for the test and on my free time if i can and i had a good teacher last semester and this semester she ISNT that great of a teacher sad to say..But i will still study and what not, but what else are some tips that anyone could give me besides studying and trying to get tutoring..Its English I

 

I'm good at English...but what specifically, are you having trouble with? Grammar, writing, etc.?

 

Grammer mostly..I mean, like..The types of words..adverbs and stuff i can mostly study for and get that part..But its mostly like understanding what goes into a sentence..Or what is missing in a sentence..For example..It will ask what is missing in a sentence and it will give you the verb, the adverb etc..its mostly that stuff and writing good essays and other stuff.

 

You can start by capitalizing your "I's". Then try to avoid run-on sentences.

lol jk...i'm pretty good at english..but i type very bad english..

 

im in year 12 this year, The highest year in school in australia.
and i would suggest, go over all your langauge techniques, like similes, hyperbole's, metaphors, anaphora, repetition and so on.
and read news papers and essays and try and identify techniques within the piece, and the effect that they give...

so in this line:
"The house was so hot inside, it was like sitting on the sun!"
In this like is a hyperbole and a simile.

the hyperbole helps to convey how hot it was inside, along with it grabbing the readers attention.
and the simile, gives the reader something to compare it to, again to help convey a message.

And if you need help with writing, id suggest try and start doing a small practice essay every 14 days.
if you want i can supply you with a pretty general question and texts to do the essay on.


this will work dude. i did this last year and went from middle of my class to 3rd!



All the best!

 

You've got yourself a tutor.^ lol. He said it like a teacher.

I am a good writer. im also good at grammar. I have to go back and correct stuff on here if I see I miss-spelled a word, left out a comma, etc.

 

I consider myself pretty good at English. I would help but in my HS english 1 honors consists of reading books and writing papers... no noun, verb, adjective, adverb, infinitive, or gerund practice at all LOL

 

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

It's actually a sentence... If you can understand that, you don't need help in English

 

nope, can't understand that.... makes me kinda dizzy

 

Your lucky then! my english is hard, and im not even in honors.
