UNIT 1

Grammar


TKT book module 1 unit one is about grammar. In my opinion, grammar is how we combine words to make meaning. According to Scott Thornbury (2007), “grammar is partly the study of what forms (or structures) are possible in a language. Thus, grammar is a description of the rules that govern how a language`s sentences are formed” (p. 1). Grammar contains forms and uses. Form refers how words are made up and presented in speech or writing and use refers how grammatical structures are used to convey meaningPart or speech is identified in grammatical forms with contains prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions, determiners, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and exclamations. I have also learned that many grammatical forms have more than one use. For example if I talk about present simple structure, the uses could be to describe present actions, routines, to tell a story, to refer the future. The harder job I had to do was identify structures, their terms, and their forms. An example of structure could be I hate doing my homework. Its term is verb + gerund. Its form is subject + verb + gerund + object
