Grammar may be defined as the study of how a language ‘works’.
Without a good grasp of grammar, one can never become proficient in spoken and written English.
When one learns grammar, one can understand and apply the words given to convey a meaning clearly in the form of sentences.
Thus, spoken and written English consist
of words which are combined into sentences to express a clear meaning.
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)
In the three examples above, the word water plays different roles in three different contexts. Their respective roles are indicated in brackets.
Hence, the study
of grammar will explain how and why a word plays different roles in sentences. This will make learning English much easier.
Trainees will be able to form original and meaningful English sentences.
Trainees will understand basic sentence structures and how sentences are composed.
Trainees increase their stock of words (vocabulary) when they learn word formation, prefixes and suffixes, synonyms, antonyms and homonyms.
