What Are the Best Ways to Study TOEFL
Grammar?
What’s the best way to get TOEFL grammar practice? There aren’t many high-
quality sources out there specifically dedicated to TOEFL grammar, but the good
news is that, by strengthening your overall English skills, you’ll also be improving
your knowledge of English grammar which will help you use proper grammar in
your Speaking and Writing responses.
We recommend following three steps for your TOEFL grammar

grammar: becoming familiar with proper grammar through listening to and
reading in English, then trying out your TOEFL grammar skills, and finally, getting
feedback so you can perfect your English grammar. Each of the steps is
described in more detail below, along with the best resources to use
for grammar TOEFL test practice.
Read and Listen to English
Your first step for your TOEFL English grammar practice is to expose
yourself to a lot of written and spoken English. That way you’ll hear and
read English being used correctly which will make you less likely to make
mistakes yourself with your TOEFL test grammar.
Best Resources for Listening

designed to help listeners improve their English skills.
 Breaking News English: This is another podcast for
English learners. It focuses on current events around
the world.
 TED Talks: There are over 2000 videos on this site,
and they cover a wide variety of topics. Each lasts
about 10-20 minutes.
Best Resources for Reading
 University textbooks: Introductory university-level

books are a good resource and will get you prepared
for the types of writing you’ll see on the TOEFL.
Textbooks with the words “Introduction” or
“Beginning” in the title are usually a good choice.
 PubMed: A good source for scientific abstracts so you
can become more comfortable with science-related
articles.
 Nature: Another source for science articles.
 The Economist: Economics and social science-related
articles.
Practice, Practice, Practice!
Once you feel like your skills are strong enough, begin practicing on your
own! Practice using proper grammar when both speaking and writing in order
to strengthen these skills before test day.

Have Someone Correct Your Grammar

While you’re practicing, it’s helpful to have someone with strong English skills
look over or listen to your responses so they can point out any grammar
mistakes you may be making but aren’t aware of. This way you can
continue to improve your English grammar. This person can be a tutor, friend,
or someone else trying to learn another language.
