330 lessons to improve basic command of the English language

2. Grammar may be defined as the
study of how a language ‘works’.
Without a good grasp of grammar,
one can never go far in mastering
the English language.

3. The study of grammar enables
one to understand and apply the
words given to convey a meaning
clearly in the form of sentences.

4. Thus, spoken and written English
consist of words which are
combined into sentences to
express a clear meaning.

5. 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)

6. In the three examples, the word
water plays different roles in
three different contexts. Their
respective roles are indicated in
brackets.

7. Hence, the study of grammar will
explain how and why a word
plays different roles in
sentences.
This will make learning English
much simpler.

26. METHODOLOGY
The method adopted in this
programme is that of The
Structural Approach. We never
realise that we are using
structural English in our daily
lives.

27. METHODOLOGY
If there is no structure, we will
present our materials in an
unorganised and unintelligent
way.

28. Knowledge of different
sentence patterns allows us
to comprehend and apply the
various structures habitually
in our spoken and written
English. This will lessen the
tendency to make mistakes.

29. Hence, this programme
enables one to recognise the
role of words in a sentence.

30. Knowledge thus gained will
empower one to control the
language to convey one’s
thoughts and feelings to
others effortlessly and
confidently.

31. This is the true
gist of
communication.
