GRAMMAR
  1. The study the structure and system of a language, or of languages in general, considering syntax and morphology
    1. Greek and Latin: Those languages are the root of other grammar since they were the way of communicating and sharing knowledge.
      1. The Prescriptive Approach: Grammarians dictate the rules of how to write english correctlybased on the Traditional Analysis of makin an analogy between languages.
        1. The Descriptive Approach: How it is, indeed, Language used by the speakers
          1. Structural Analysis: this studies how the parts of speech are put in the sentence and if they make sense, so the Test Frame (examination of a part of speech in the sentence to see if it fits correctly) must be done.
            1. Yves has twelve ________ at home. In the blank of this sentence, it could correctly fit the word "cats" because it is a noun in plural but it would not fit the adjective "stately" because it makes no sense
            2. Constituent Analysis: here every part of speech is taken in group which is called "phrases" So we get: Noun Phrases, Prepositional Phrases, Verb Phrases.
              1. A Sentence = Noun Phrase + Verb phrase
          2. Parts of Speech: the blocks that form the language only if they follow the correct grammatical structure
            1. Nouns
              1. Words that name things such as objects, ideas, places etc
              2. Artcles
                1. words that help classifying the Nouns
                2. Adjectives
                  1. they describe, modify or judge nouns.
                  2. Verbs
                    1. indicate Action in the sentence
                    2. Adverbs
                      1. they modify adjectives, verbs; indicating how the action was done
                      2. Prepositions

                        2. Pronouns

                          3. Agreement: The harmony in the sentence with Number , Person, Tense , Voice & Gender
