    Of course, if you definitely want some resource on grammar, there are many websites for that online. Here is one: http://www.englishlanguageguide.com/grammar/preposition.asp

    Here is an example, and another web link which shows you the kind of brief lesson material that will give you confidence and knowledge both, in your English speaking and writing. There Once Were Two Cats of Kilkenny There once were two cats of Kilkenny, Each thought there was one cat too many, So they fought and they fit, And they scratched and they bit, Till, excepting their nails And the tips of their tails, Instead of two cats, there weren't any. http://www.mamalisa.com/?t=hes&p=1390 If you find a language partner to read over these kind of studies with you, it will be helpful. Or, you can join one of the study groups which seek members in the Discussion Forum of Italki Groups and individuals who have specific study materials like this, will quickly develop their English skills in speaking and writing.

    Aftab: The best way to acquire a knowledge of general grammar is to being reading Nursery Rhymes. That way, your can form a memory of a correct grammatical construction in a natural way. Here is a link to one website that may help you. http://www.nurseryrhymes.com/ Also, you can listen to the Nursery Rhymes being read on YouTube.com and acquire a natural feeling for the construction of sentences and the correct NOUN & VERB Relation.

    Sambasiva: The best advice I can give you is to suggest that you post a message or a comment in the discussion area of Italki several times a week at least. In every message, remind others that you are looking for a language partner. Eventually, someone will respond to you. Good luck.

      I know a woman who has been to several missionary trips to India.

     

         She informed me that she will never travel anywhere in   India  without a man, 

    since women  doing anything alone are usually targeted for rape.

       English is easy to learn  for Chinese,  because it is a phonetically based language.

     

     Of course,  English or any language can be poorly taught.  For esample,  teachers can be boring,  uninspired,   poorly informed,   absorbed with petty details, and generally  not very  capable to offer good guidance to a student.  There can be teachers who lack intuitive knowledge,  lack understanding, lack a broad knowledge of life in general, and can do little more than  teach to the student the confusion which occupies  their own mind.

     

       Case in point:   Yesterday I saw a teacher on Italki tell a student that they could not learn  English  in the same way that  a  Baby learns its native language.  Of course,  an adult learns a language in exactly   the same way that any adult learns the language.

    (a) They hear the language  (b) They memorize the language  (c) They repeat the language they hear.

     

        So,  with so many confused ideas being   published abroad, the experience  of learning a language can be either difficult or easy,  depending upon how it is studied and understood as an activity.

      Life indeed can be difficult and sometimes is.

     

      However,  at the same time,  any person can find peace in difficulty, such that all difficulties can be regarded with great calm.

     

      Of course,  if one  chooses to experience all of life as a "difficulty" then of course, that is one of the many possibilities.

     

        One can do anything they want and indeed,  people do this, and there are many kinds of people, just as there are many kinds of "life".

    "failure" in the "real world" is never an absolute  failure at all.

     

       There are many different "ways" to be in the world, and life   offers opportunities  by which perceptions change.

     

        Learning to move beyond  Black & White conceptions of "failure" and "success" and other simplistic and reductionist conclusions   is a sign of real growth and real development in the "real world".

    Religion can be understood as a group activity associated with the Divine. It can involve prayer, meditation, discussions, lectures, doctrines and moral instructions in the context of Morality, Literalisms, Allegories and Typology and some of the well known texts such as The Bhagavad Gita, Dhammapada, Diamond Sutra, Holy Bible, Koran and so forth. When it comes to a definition of faith, you can seek out a dictionary, but I prefer the definition offered by the Apostle Paul: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."----------Hebrews 11:1 from the - King James Bible "Authorized Version", Cambridge Edition Basically, to learn of these things as a whole conception of "religion" you may want to get an authoritative text on the subject of the world's religions, which would be something like this. http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Religions-Plus-Huston-Smith/dp/0061660183/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1429017534&sr=1-1&keywords=the+world%27s+religions which is: The World's Religions by Huston Smith Of course, you can find good basic information on Wikipedia also
