Teaching and learning Language Grammar.

Those who do copywriting emphasise no spelling mistake and correct use of grammar. What is it known as grammar? How to help children to write in correct grammar in their work? By reading this article you may get answered on use the correct language grammar in writing.
Grammar is the degree to which a string of words conforms to syntactic rules when words combined to form sentences.For example ''Enormous jinx in purple sax damed at the front.'' The grammar is not based on ,what is taught in schools ,but on the rules acquired unconsciously as children learn before they learn to read.
Grammar is not based on either one has heard or read the sentence before.And is not based on either the sentence is meaningful or not ,for instance 'colourless ,green ideas ,sleep furiously, or The verb crumbled the milk.'
Ungrammartical sequence may be understood eventhough you know they are not well formed. For example :'The boy quickly in the house the ball found.' The truth of the sentence ,just as untrue sentence can be grammatically correct. Look at this example, ''My pregnant father gave birth to a baby girl."
Grammar can only come in two ways:
•Morphology is the study of the internal structure of the form of words.
•Morphenes in morphological rules determines how morphenes combined into words and these aspects of morphology have aspects synthetics.
Nouns derived from verbs >>walk--walker,work--worker.
Verbs from adjectives >>red--reddiness,blue--bluish.
Adjectives from nouns>>boy--boyish/boyhood,kin--kinship.
Other ways of morphology in combination of morphenes,for example ,'It's hot in October' gives us the state of the weather situation. He wanted her to go. 'To' is making something infinitive positive to the verb go. The cows have worked here. 'Have' is the present perfect tense.
Inflictional morphenes in English have bond morphenes that are grammartical marker such as concepts in tense,number,gender. For examples:
"I walk the whole way to town.
He walks the whole way to town.
Mr Chones walked the whole way to town."
English inflictional morphenes 's' this is the third person singular for instance ,''She waits at home."
'ed' --past tense :She waited at home.
'ing'--progressive tense:She is waiting at home.
'en--past participle:Many eaten the cake.
's'--plural :Many ate the cakes.
's'--possessive :Rudo 's hair is short.
'er'--comparative:Rudo's hair is shorter than Pauline's.
'est'--superative :Rudo's hair is the shortest here.
Irregular exceptions :John hit the snake yesterday.
Syntax is the speaker's knowledge of the structure of phraises and sentences. Knowing a language includes the ability to put words together to from phraises and sentences that express thoughts.
The meaning of a sentence mainly depends on the words that make up the sentence. However the structure of the sentence also contributes to its meaning."Jack strike his thumb". (The word order can be changed but still have the same meaning).
Syntax like all other languages ,English has rules of syntax which reflects the speaker's knowledge of the above facts. Not every sequence of words is a sentence.Sequence of the words that conforms to the rules of the syntax are said to be grammartical well formed.For examples:
"The boy found quickly. (not grammartical)
The boy found the ball. (grammartical)
The boy found in the house.(not grammartical)"
In all languages speakers can distinguish grammartical from non grammartical.
The word combinations can fix up ungrammartical structures to make them grammartical.
