Honestly, the best way to learn how to write is to read good writing. Read more of whichever books/publications on topics you’re interested in.

And read the book “On Writing Well.” It’s a classic primer on writing.

You’re welcome! Happy reading.

Grammarly. Install it on your laptop. It will not only show you tips, but also will keep track of your progress.

There are some excellent you tube video channels that discuss this topic. This is for those learning the ways American English is taught and also help with word sorting and structuring. This is because the English language has many cultural dynamics that do not make sense do other cultures. Like when someone says:

“that was literally the worst project I have ever been on I thought I was going to die”

To understand this is helpful I’ll put a link for EngVID below, they do have great content that was helpful even to me as native English speaker.

Good luck.
