     Go to a bookstore and buy an English grammar book written for non-native speakers. Learn basic verb conjugation and conjugate simple verbs like "to be," "eat" and "go." Begin with the present tense before moving to past, future and past participle tenses. For example "to be" in the present tense conjugates as: I am, you are, he is, she is, it is and they are.

     Start with basic sentence structure -- subject, verb, object -- and build on it. Do not attempt to learn everything at once. Learn how adjectives, prepositions and adverbs are used in a sentence to modify nouns and verbs.
