GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURES 👀
The grammatical function or meaning of a sentence is dependent on this structural organization, which is also called SYNTAX or SYNTACTIC structure.
The understanding of the structures of the language is put into practice in compositions.
Grammatical structure is also directly involved in social interaction in language use.
Language use is central to accounting for language acquisition, language variation and language change.
THE MAJOR PARTS OF SPEECH 🗨
1. NOUN
They refer to people, places, or things, even intangible or abstract concepts like ideas or thoughts are things.
2. PRONOUN
Are words that replace nouns: I, me, she, we, they, who, that, yours, his, her, etc.
3. ADJECTIVE
Descriptive words that add detail to a sentence.
They can give important or necessary information or they can just make the sentence more interesting.
4. VERB
Are action words that tell us what the subject of the sentence is up to.
5. PREPOSITION
Are little words that tell where or when (among other things) something is.
6. CONJUNCTIONS
Are words like and, but, and or that connect concepts, clauses, or parts of sentences.
7. INTERJECTIONS
They’re sounds we make to convey extreme emotion or to create emphasis when we’re talking. They require a great deal of context to be understood.
8. ADVERB
It is a word that modifies (describes) a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or even a whole sentence.
FOUR BASIC TYPES OF SENTENCES:
Simple sentence.
Compound sentence.
Complex sentence.
Compound-complex sentence.
SIMPLE SENTENCES:
Independent clause with no conjunction.
"I like coffee"☕
COMPOUND SENTENCE:
Two independent clauses joined by a conjunction (and, but, or, for, nor, yet, so).
"I play soccer and golf"
COMPLEX SENTENCE:
Contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Conjunctions and subordinators
"Our dog barks when it hears a noise"
COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE:
Contains multiple independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.
"Jhon didn't come because he was ill, so Mary wasn't happy"

SYNTACTIC GRAMMAR ANALYSIS
The grammatical structure of a sentence is a route followed with a purpose, a phonetic goal for a speaker, and a semantic goal for a hearer.
The composition of the written texts is greatly influenced by the syntactic component, which is the part of the grammar responsible for putting order and relationship between the words within a text.
WHAT IS A GRAMMATICAL ERROR?
Corder (1967) argues, in "The Significance of Learner's Errors", that the error is "a deviation that appears in the verbal production of the learner of a second foreign language or language as a result of the misrecognize of the correct rule"; he also calls them systematic mistakes.
Examples:
My mother is a honest woman.
My mother is an honest woman.

🎓 TEACHING GRAMMAR METHOD.
The method that we use for develop the model class was the Grammar Translation Method. This method consists on the translation of texts, grammar, and rote learning of vocabulary (memorization). It focuses on learning the rules of grammar and their application in translating passages from one language to other.
In vocabulary, with this method, we translated isolated words easily, in order to comprehend. Furthermore, we choose it because we think it was according to the topics we explain in the presentation and what we tried to do was improve the students translation.
