IamaNigerianGuy:
I find myself in disagreement with many of the responses.
Here's my advice for improving vocabulary, syntax and pronunciation.

1. As a general rule avoid American movies ; they are filled with slang . Watch British movies instead. Game of Thrones is not a bad start.

2. Read the classics and modern novels. They are too many to list you can find examples online (the writings of Soyinka and Achebe are considered classics at this point).

3. Read Essays and scholarly articles. You can find examples of these on the internet and good magazines. Avoid reading Nigerian newspapers and magazines as a means of improving your English. The quality or writing across board is dismal. That said, the occasional good article does seep through the cracks and make it to the pages of Nigerian dailies. It is my experience that they are usually written by lawyers and public personalities.

4. There are two must-read books that deal with style and grammar. On Writing Well by William Zinsser and Elements of Style by William Strunk. They are compulsory reading for journalists, scholars, language enthusiasts and students around the world intent on improving their command of English. Download either them from the internet and start studying. They are both interesting and easy to read. You can download them here:

5. Keep the company of people who speak proper grammar and can teach you same. Chances are you will learn a lot more than English from them.

6. Buy or download a good dictionary - and use it.

7. Practice, practice, practice.

PS. As many commentators have pointed out, there is a glaring error in your title.

I think it's Tenses,using can,could,have,has,had,May,might,shall,should,will,would..and constructing Good sentences,those are the areas am Having problem.

akankemi1:
Ensure you speak English all the time. Don't feel embarrassed when corrected instead take corrections in good spirit. don't watch African magic Yoruba. read more, novels, newspaper magazines etc

tamethem:
Get a british visa and wen u get there dont mingle with any african stay among the whites speaking and working in their environment stay there for a year or two. When u come back yould come and dash me iphone 8.

grodt999:


Easy, stop hanging out with Nigerians.

Am fine, instead of I am fine or I'm fine.
May I know you, instead of hi what's you name, and where are you from?

Most graduates in Nigerians are educated-illiterates, you cannot learn much from them.

BTW:
Please How Can I Improve In My English Speaking = How Can I Improve My English? another mistake is using too many unnecessary words!

MADUBI:


I wasn't helping the OP, you already helped him but I helped you. You can't give what you don't have, if you want to give an advise on an issue, you must be on top of that issue yourself. Yours is not a problem of speaking English but the problem of spelling. Many speak English well but can't write or spell well. Learn how to spell bro. Google commonly misspelled words, go to spelling bee competitions not as a contestant but as those who sit at the back to learn, watch movies that are correctly subtitled in English even if it is Hollywood movies and if a movie does not have a subtitle, download it. You see I am not a critic.

illustriousson:
most people use the words ADVISE and ADVICE interchangeably and you have just made the same error,it should have been give an ADVICE on an issue,not give an ADVISE on an issue,ADVICE is a noun and ADVISE is a verb,learn to use verbs and nouns correctly too sir

MADUBI:


Hehehehe, I knew someone will say that, the error was intentional, I was waiting for the person I quoted to detect it for the flow to continue. So thank you very much and go back to your shell. You can doubt me all you want, that's your business. Also learn to write or type well, there should be a space after every words and punctuations, you don't write like a kid, you are a grown up, at least I hope so.

illustriousson:
no one knows it all,thanks for calling my attention to my punctuation error,you may now go back to your shell too

iRyan:

Flat head.

Correct yourself before correcting others. It is Di're'ctor and not Di'le'ctor.

profmiganigal:

Brood of chameleons

OmoDavido:

LeksideOLM:
I want to improve my English.
I do speak good english but makes little mistakes which embarrass me sometimes.

I want to improve but don't know how.
I was brought up with Pure Yoruba Dialect.

Partnerbiz3:

What's the hype about quora. That platform is useless.

OvaSabi1:


Quora is the most advanced Q&A forum at the moment. It's like nairaland but with people that have a higher IQ, no offence meant. You will easily get the best life hacks, be inspired by the most unusual stories and get answers to the weirdest, most mind boggling questions.
