some one please help me with my english?

I need some help quick. on tuesday I have to go take a test to see if I can take any classes at the community college. the problem is that my english stinks and over 90% of the classes that are still open requires me to get at least a 75 on my english test. the last time I took it (last year) I only got a 70 on english but they raised the requirements for all of the good classes. I was home schooled all my life and the ONLY areas I have ever had problems are math and english. but last year when I started college (2 years early through a dual enrollment program) I started math that was 5 levels higher than the classes that 95% of the high school grads that year took. so even though I struggled with it I started at a much higher level. but I cannot seem to get my engligh up to par for those classes. because I am not 18 I cannot take the lower english classes and I can’t teach it to myself, I have tried. what do I do? and help would be greatly appreciated

I’m not sure what you are asking. Are you a non-native English speaker? What lanaguage do you speak? Or are you a native English speaker with a poor grasp of the language? You seem to write fairly well. IM me and I will see what I can do to help.

For one thing, English is capitalized all the time. The beginning of sentences are also capitalized.

Do not begin a sentence with a conjunction (and, but, nor, for example).

I suggest you read a lot, and pay attention to how sentences are structured and punctuated.

It is good that you write as though you are having a conservation as that gets you started. Then, you need to be back and re-read what you wrote and punctuate and edit it.

Your spelling is fine. Just work on capitalization: proper nouns are capitalized (days of the week, cities, states, names).

Instead of beginning a sentence with “but,” begin with “On the other hand,” or “Another way of looking at this is….”

It just takes practice. You are very intelligent and the more you work at improving your skills, the better you will do.

Best wishes.

If you don’t make it into the community college class, you can take Adult Education English classes through a nearby school district & learn what you need to know, until you qualify for the CC, later on!
