A little bit about grammar.Shall we?

I know, I know. Everything concerned to grammar usually makes people turn noses up. Lets try to understand why grammar is so important.Jeremy Harmer is a teacher trainer and materials writer. He has worked extensively in the UK and Mexico and has books published by Longman. He has an interesting opinion about this subject and states that teachers are interested in grammar, but students are not and prefer exercises like fill-ins and sentences completions. Although, we can't abandon any approaches to grammar but it does suggest that teachers should be sensitive to such needs. Choosing methods and activities pragmatically .Sometimes a simple situation which provokes five or six models sentences seems to be an ideal way to expose students to some new grammar, e.g. six things that somebody does every day to teach the present simple, a passage with several ways of talking about the past or a list of adjectives and theirs comparative forms . Deal with it is very important. Grammar is the study or use of the rules about how words change their form and combines with other words to make sentences(Cambridge Int Dictionary). Without this we would not be able to string words together in any meaningful way. See you.
