English
Grammar - an introduction
Languages are natural
forms of communication;
children quickly learn to communicate using their native language, and
soon master the main rules of grammar without being taught. So why
should English cause so much difficulty for students and speakers of
other languages? Very often, there is a short answer to this
question; they have not absorbed or acquired the simple and fundamental rules of
grammar .that govern use of language.
The aim of these grammar pages is to demonstrate these rules as
concisely and clearly as possible.
This is not a classic student's grammar of
English; it sets out to
stress the main rules and principles that native English speakers
acquire without ever needing to learn them. Children master their
native language without ever consulting a grammar book; and they do so
because they spontaneously absorb just a few general principles of
language and
communication. The aim of these pages is to explain and clarify the
most important of these rules and principles.
You will therefore find on these pages some of the main
fundamental rules of English syntax and language, which will help you
to express yourself more accurately and clearly in English. Each rule
is accompanied by clear exapmles.
Please
note: This
guide to English grammar is an ongoing project; it is not complete.
More pages will be aded to the website in the course of time. If you
don't find the information you are looking for, try again later.
Finally, please note that these grammar pages are
intended
for teachers and for students who have already acquired a good working
knowledge of English as a foreign or second language. Beginners may
find the explanations a bit hard to follow.
Many pages in this grammar
section can be found in French on angleterre.org.uk
