Albeit it is arguable to proclaim that English grammar is not that crucial in the long term when it comes to speaking English.

Whilst it can be said that grammar is important for speaking perfect English as you can form sentences more effectively and wrong grammar or incorrect word forms can even ruin the conversation, moreover make it complicated for the person you are speaking to, to understand you.

However, it is equally false to conclude that without perfect grammar you can’t speak English fluently and convey your ideas to anyone as it is nearly impossible for anyone to master perfect grammar.

The only purpose of grammar is to help you frame sentences the right way and has nothing to do with your fluency in general.

It is often suggested that in order to improve your English speaking skills, you should not pay much attention to your grammar and invest your time learning the rules as there are more than thousands of grammar rules. Learning this great deal of rules can only turn the task of speaking complex as you’ll extra cautious about not to make any mistakes.

This can also result to lose your flow of words and speak English hesitantly. Hence, only a little or say 10%-20% knowledge about grammar is sufficient to speak English fluently.

"I leave early evening today."

Although there is a grammatical error in the sentence, still listener can understand and get the idea of what the speaker is trying to convey. The correct sentence should be like

"I’d prefer to leave early this evening."

"I’d leave early this evening."
