Grammar is the system of a language. People sometimes describe grammar as the “rules” of a language, but in fact no language has rules. If we use the word “rules”, we suggest that somebody created the rules first and then spoke the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that. Languages started by people making sounds which evolved into words, phrases and sentences. No commonly-spoken language is fixed. All languages change over time. What we call “grammar” is simply a reflection of a language at a particular time.
Do we need to study grammar to learn a language ? The short answer is “no”. Very many people in the world speak their own, native language without having studied its grammar. Children start to speak before they even know the word “grammar”. But if we are serious about learning a foreign language, the long answer is “yes, grammar can help us to learn a language more quickly and more efficiently.” It’s important to think of grammar as something that can help us, like a friend. When we understand the grammar (system) of a language, we can understand many things ourselves, without having to ask a teacher or look in a book.
So, think of grammar as something good, something positive, something that we can use to find our way, like a signpost or a map.
Study of English grammar is difficult for me, and I think for the first we must love that lesson, of course that lesson will be satisfy for us. Like mathematics, most of human said that mathematics is so hard, so difficult, and make us dizzy, but if we’ve love with that lesson, we don’t feel like that. Believe it…!!
