verb form mistakes When I speak English, I often make mistakes like, "He speak English" instead of "He speaks English" "I go there yesterday" instead of "I went there yesterday" I know the grammatical rule, but I have to speak quick in the conversation so my brain cannot catch up. Do anyone have any suggestion to practice speaking skills to overcome this situation?

verb form mistakes

When I speak English, I often make mistakes like,

"He speak English" instead of "He speaks English"
"I go there yesterday" instead of "I went there yesterday"

I know the grammatical rule, but I have to speak quickly in the conversation so my brain cannot catch up.
Does anyone have any suggestions to practice speaking skills to and overcome this situation?

Does anyone have any suggestions to practice(practise is the only verb for non-USA countries) speaking skills which can overcome this situation?

It seems that forgetfulness of tense-changing when using English is one of the most common grammatical errors of non-native English users. Keeping over-attention to verbs helps but sometimes you may start making other common mistakes like no-s-after-plural or wrong agreements.

 

What I tried is that, I pay attention on words that are often changing from time to time, like countable nouns, and verbs. They are often the key parts of the sentences too, so they are worth thinking and worth waiting. Making sentences orally is like playing a music: If you do it more slowly, you are more likely to make a correctly one; and when you get more familiar, you can play it faster. Starting with a fast speed is a bad habit, no matter to the grammatical correctness, or to the pronunciation.

Speaking regularly with a native speaker and getting them to correct you will also help. And listening to lots of native English dialogue such as radio, film and television. Things will begin to sound "right" or "wrong" through repetition - this is the way people learn their first language after all. The more commonly used verbs and tenses will become almost instinctive through hearing them in their correct forms over and over again. The trick is to find programmes you enjoy :)

Thank you, Loren! I will try your idea!

One thing that might help is the technique of "auto-correction". This is a common step (in my opinion) in learning to speak another language. As you said, we are thinking quickly when speaking and you know that what you might have said is not the correct tense, form, syntax, whatever. It is not always easy to get it right the first time. In many situations, it is perfectly acceptable to stop and correct yourself. Stop, and repeat it correctly. The more you can do this, the more often you will become familiar with saying something correctly and hopefully avoid a similar mistake in the future. In my opinion, everybody passes through this phase of learning when they start to actually speak and have conversations in another language. Good luck!
