Educational series on English grammar for advanced learners

Dr. Larisa Segida, a PhD in teaching English as a second language, has published a series of grammar lessons targeting fluent speakers living in Canada. The author notes that many immigrants fall into the habit of repeating common errors due to a focus on speech speed over accuracy. One recurring issue highlighted is the incorrect use of infinitives without 'to' after verbs, such as saying 'I need buy' instead of 'I need to buy'. The lessons also address the challenges that former students of the Russian school system face, where over-reliance on memorized rules can hinder spontaneous communication. Another key focus is the correct usage of the Present Perfect tense for actions that began in the past and continue into the present. Students are advised to use 'have/has' with the third form of the verb to describe such experiences. The series aims to help learners move beyond basic conversational mistakes that solidify over time. By providing these grammatical guides, Segida encourages speakers to prioritize structural correctness to improve their professional and social integration.
