The Building Blocks Of Language

WHY GRAMMAR?

"It's been said that you can't build an engine unless you know what its parts are and how they fit together. This is also true for constructing proper sentences, paragraphs and papers. …… If students don't know what verbs, nouns, prepositions, or modifiers are, how, then, can they be expected to put sentences together in a precise, correct, controlled and meaningful manner."

"When a main purpose of a language is the careful, precise expression of thought, grammar and syntax become critical because they make such expression of thought possible."
