How can you best study and remember certain aspects of English grammar (e.g. tenses)?
When reading English texts (lyrics, novels, news, textbooks) look out for the grammar aspect you want to remember. Mark it and reflect on why it is used there.
To see whether you're right about a rule, look up the topic in an English grammar reference, your English textbook .
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. (And the proof of the grammar is in the reading.) ;o)
English Gap-Filling Exercises
Make your own gap-filling exercises from English texts.
Choose a short, interesting English text that is not too difficult (e.g. lyrics, text from your textbook, news, excerpt from a story/novel). Copy the text and delete some words in the copy, e.g.:
prepositions
adjectives
verbs in a certain tense
Try to fill the gaps correctly and then take the original text to check your answers.
This sure is more fun when doing it with friends. Everyone prepares a short text and gives a copy to the others, who will try to fill the gaps correctly.
To make things a bit easier, you can provide the words in a different order or as a translation.
Practice makes perfect.
