Unit 1 "Grammar"

In this unit, I learnt the main concept about grammar, what is it?  And key concepts for referring to it, I have a previous knowledge about it is a set of rules which is essential part of language for communication. I have found information where says that all languages have grammar restrictions how words must to be arranged such as word order and word structure (Linguistic Society of America, 2011). Spratt, Pulverness, and Wiliams (2011), in their book the TKT course, mention that grammar refers to join, layout and shift part of words and group of words in a semantic way. All time we talk apply grammar in our daily lives even if we did not notice, another person how thinks that human was born with grammatical set of rules in language. According to (Chomsky, 1960) pupils were born with a systematic language structure so they easily dominate the complex operations of language it means that they have in their minds knowledge grammar of certain principles that guide them to develop language. This help too much in my teaching language training because it provides me with good information and example in order to change the way that usually teacher taught this topic. There are several activities to implement to teach grammar.
