ENGLISH GRAMMAR

330 lessons to improve basic command of the English language

Page 2: English Grammar

Grammar may be defined as the study of how a language ‘works’.

Without a good grasp of grammar, one can never go far in mastering

the English language.

Page 3: English Grammar

The study of grammar enables one to understand and apply the words given to convey a meaning clearly in the form of sentences.

Page 4: English Grammar

Thus, spoken and written English consist of words which are combined into sentences to express a clear meaning.

Page 5: English Grammar

A word plays a different role according to the context of the sentence.

EXAMPLE:We drink water. (noun)They water the plants. (verb)This is a water pipe. (adjective)

Page 6: English Grammar

In the three examples, the word water plays different roles in three different contexts. Their

respective roles are indicated in brackets.

Page 7: English Grammar

Hence, the study of grammar will explain how and why a word

plays different roles in sentences.

This will make learning English much simpler.

METHODOLOGYThe method adopted in this programme is that of The Structural Approach. We never realise that we are using structural English in our daily lives.

Page 27: English Grammar

METHODOLOGYIf there is no structure, we will present our materials in an unorganised and unintelligent way.

Page 28: English Grammar

Knowledge of different sentence patterns allows us to comprehend and apply the various structures habitually in our spoken and written English. This will lessen the tendency to make mistakes.

Page 29: English Grammar

Hence, this programme enables one to recognise the role of words in a sentence.

Page 30: English Grammar

Knowledge thus gained will empower one to control the language to convey one’s thoughts and feelings to others effortlessly and

confidently.

This is the true gist of

communication.
