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 meaning.
Part 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.
