How to express English simply After writing diaries in English for three days, I find i always make many mistakes but i can't realize them. On one hand, i know some mistakes are because i lack accumulation. For example, i spell words in wrong way, or write some false phrases. In this respect, i'm not anxious, because i know that i will get improvement after spending more time in learning English. But, on the other hand, i'm very distressed that i'm still very hard to express. First, i write sentences very slow which makes me spend much time in writing this. Second, i think my way, thinking in mind, to make sentences is wrong. I am used to make sentences in Chinese way, which makes me express slow and badly. Third, I can't express in a easy way; maybe the way of thinking of mine is wrong, or others, i don't know. I sometimes notice that use a verb will make a sentence more simple. So, if i should change my way of thinking and use more verbs to express? Besides, i can't use punctuation well. I see others always can use "," and ";" to make sentences long, But for me, i always have to use many conjunctions. I read a lot English every day, but can't express as they how to express. How can i change my way of thinking on making sentences.

How to express English simply

After writing diaries in English for three days, I find I always make many mistakes but I can't realize them. On one hand, I know some mistakes are because I lack accumulation (what do you mean by accumulation?). For example, I spell words incorrectly in wrong way, or write some false phrases. In this respect, I'm not anxious, because I know that I will improve get improvement after spending more time in learning English. But, on the other hand, i'm very distressed that i'm it's still very hard to express my ideas. First, i write sentences very slowly which makes me spend much time in writing this. Second, i think my way, thinking in myu mind, to make sentences is wrong (what do you mean in this sentence?). I am used to making sentences in the Chinese way, which makes me express slowly and badly in English. Third, I can't express things in am easy way; maybe my the way of thinking of mine is wrong, or something else others, i don't know. I sometimes notice that using a verb will make a sentence more simple. So, if i should change my way of thinking and use more verbs to express my thoughts? Besides, i can't use punctuation well. I see others always can use "," and ";" to make sentences long, But for me, i always have to use many conjunctions.

I read a lot of English every day, but can't express myself like others can as they how to express. How can i change my way of thinking on making sentences.

Always capitalize the word 'I' :).

Also, about your main problem, try to learn phrases, not words. This will help you sound more natural when writing and speaking.

Hi Chao, I think you are right in that actions (and verbs) define the core of a sentence in English and that it should help you to think about each sentence as a small story. Use the five Ws to construct your sentence: - What? (play tennis) - Who? (Tina) - Where? (in Monaco) - When? (yesterday) - Why? (it is sunny outside) => Yesterday, Tina played tennis in Monaco because it was sunny outside. Hope this helps!
