4. a. What is grammar?
Grammar is the rules about how words change
their form and combine with other words to
make sentences.

5. b. Introducing Grammar
• Introducing Grammar is the way to start
teaching grammar to students.
Example:
- Game (Scrambled Sentences)
- Activities ( Role play)

6. C. Discovering Grammar
• Discovering Grammar is the way to
persuade the students to find the form
of grammar.
Example:
- Comparative Adjectives

7. Look at this!
Old => older
New => newer
Light => lighter
Big => Bigger
Thin => Thinner
Noisy => Noisier
Silly => Sillier
Expensive => more
Expensive
Beautiful => More
Beautiful
Now work these out!
-How do we make one-syllable adjective
into comparative adjective?
-Why are big and thin different?
-What has to change when we make
word like noisy and silly into comparative
adjectives?
-What is different about expensive and
beautiful? Why?

8. d. Spoken and written grammar
The grammar of speech has its own constructional principle (see Biber et
al.1999:1066-1108); it is organized differently from writing. Spoken
English has its own discourse markers too, for example:
- Frequent non-clausal units (e.g. Mmm, No, Uh huh, Yeah)
- A variety of tags not found in written style, such as question tags
- Interjections (e.g. ah, oh, wow, cor (BrE))
- Hesitators (e.g. emm, er, erm)
- Condensed question (e.g. More milk?, Any luck?)
- Echo question (e.g. Oh did you say San Francisco?, White chocolate
hot cocoa?)
- Response forms (e.g. yeah or sure to acknowledge a request)
- Fixed polite speech formulae (e.g. Happy Birthday!, Congratulations!)

9. e. Grammar rules and problems
• In this section refers to the problems of grammar
happen from the rules of the grammar.
Example
- In present simple, we tell to the students to add
‘s’ to all verb that use with third person singular
(he, she, it).
+ He reads a book.
+ She sees a seal.

10. e. Grammar rules and problems (Cont.)
- But the problem is that when the students
use the modal verb (must, can, could,
should, etc.) with third person singular, they
will add ‘s’ to those modal verb as well.
+ He musts go to school. (problem)
+ She coulds sing a song. (problem)
