Meanwhile, other languages have heavy use of punctuation, emphasis and different syllables along with the grammar rules they each have. Especially for multilingual people, English may be the easier language to grasp out of the others they learnt in the past.

English is easier because it's much easier to spell than most languages, and none of the grammatical rules have any exceptions. Thirdly, it only has easy sounds for foreigners to pronounce like "th", "ae", and w, unlike difficult languages like Spanish, which have such bizarre tongue twisting sounds.

What is your view on the yesteryear English Grammar Book titled "High School English Grammar and Composition" by Wren&Martin? Is it still available? Reminiscence of my School Days during 1960s. Our English Teacher used to conduct special classes just one day before English exam.Usually exams would start with English 1 paper as the first and which would fall on a Monday.So Sunday would be a busy day to pick up grammar like "Direct&Indirect Speech". A lot of example sentences would be discussed.These sentences would predominantly carry names like Rama&Sita in Indian edition Wren&Martin books.The coincidence is "gRAmMAr" consists of RAMA.

Why the students are lacking communicative skill?
Nowadays students are more interested in sms language which is not at all appropriate in the industry. They opt for shortcuts in everything and hence cannot communicate properly as their knowledge is confined.
