Message: <blockquote data-quote="diligentcircle" data-source="post: 798548" data-attributes="member: 71396">You should use the pronoun "it" if you're repeating the same thing twice, as is the case for "English" in many of those sentences. Repeating "English" like that is correct, but sounds incredibly silly (and this is also the case for most obvious repetitions).I wouldn't use "if you are to" with the imperative form. So not e3 or e4.Other than those two points, all of these are good. The only minor point is that it's not particularly usual to say that an absolute like "always do X" as a precondition for something else being possible. But if you're trying to really hammer home that speaking English is important, it's a good way of doing that.If you want something lighter, use less absolute words like "often", "frequently", "regularly", or "a lot", or even skip the adverb entirely.</blockquote>
