GRAMMAR
I. English Grammar:
The process of describing and assembling possible structures of phrases and sentences and then removing all ungrammatical sequences is called the grammar of a language.
II. Traditional Grammar:
The terms "article", "adjective" and "noun" come from the traditional grammar that has its origins in the description of languages such as Latin and Greek. Current grammatical categories, which are used to analyse English are adapted from a well-established grammatical description of Latin relied on earlier analyses of Greek.
*The Parts of Speech
- Noun "boys"
- Article "the"
- Adjective "lucky"
- Verb "found"
- Adverb "carefully"
- Preposition "in"
- Pronoun "they"
- Conjunction "and"
Prescriptive approach is a way of talking to describe the rules for the "proper" use of English, which was set by 18th England grammarians who stated that structures of English should be similar to the structure of sentences in Latin.
IV. The Descriptive Approach:
Descriptive approach is a describing method used for non-European language where analysts choose samples of language that they are interested in and attempted to describe the regular structures of that language as it was used, not how should it be used.
V. Subjects and Objects:
Subjects and objects are used to describe the differences in function of noun phrases in a sentence. Subjects are noun phrase in front of a verb and objects are noun phrase behind a verb. The other phrases at the end of a sentence is an adjunct, often a preposition.
VI. Word Order:
In the term of word order, the basic linear order of constituents in English is Noun Phrase - Verb - Noun Phrase or (NP - V - NP). In additionally, the most common word order pattern beside English is Subject - Object - Verb or (SOV).
