I noticed that even people with 730+ SAT English scores, which means they probably got everything in the grammar section correct, write with a bunch of grammar mistakes (mostly incorrect punctuation and sentence structures). Identifying grammar mistakes isn’t the same as writing mistake-free.
I’d like to believe that I learned to write with correct grammar and phrasing because of my English intuition, not because I learned grammar through a book (I never touched an English grammar book). Read English books, watch English YouTube, watch movies and shows in English, play games in English, ffs go ever read WattPad in English for all you care: just try to be immersed in an English environment as much as possible.
In 3 months of playing Valorant in English and being forced to talk in English in the voice chat one of relatives learned more English than going to an edu-center for half a year.
So, even if you have a 730+ SAT English score, doesn’t mean you know how to write properly. 9-10th graders, start learning how to write correctly (in the grammatical sense) from now.
