As a collection, they are really quite useful, necessary, and meaningful. Our way of communicating would be far less than ideal should grammar not exist.

Again, I do not agree with the statement that grammar consists of arbitrary rules. The rules that go along with our grammar are not arbitrary. They are very precise and need to be followed for our dialect and our written language to make sense to both the reader and the partaker in a conversation.

I can only say personally that the statement that grammar is boring is not true. To many, grammar can seem dull and boring, I’m sure. But it is also behind those interesting movie scripts, television shows, and games people find so interesting. It is in virtually everything we say, watch, or read, so how can it be boring? But yes, I guarantee the mere word ‘grammar’ strikes a boredom chord in many!

Students have different learning abilities as well, so of course, I can’t say for certain that every student is capable of learning grammar.

Some are built upon the other. Some students learn one at a time and some learn many. In any given sentence, there are many structures, so I do not think that I can say for certain that grammar structures are learned one at a time even if it may seem that way.

I do believe that grammar and vocabulary can be areas of knowledge. They are also so common throughout our speech and written language that they are sometimes disguised after awhile and it is not until you break it down that you realize how much knowledge is contained in our daily written and spoken activities.

Grammar does provide rules on how to maneuver and use our language in different formats. Students have access to the rules and explanations through examples from parents, peers, media, and teachers.

I don’t think one can say that they ‘don’t know how to teach grammar’. Each individual is different but each of us uses grammar. Though I may feel I use it naturally and am unaware of the rules I teach others, I’m sure that I could still be a good teacher of grammar for certain students. I also know if I sat down and thought about why I use particular words in sentences etc., I would have the ability to answer a lot of student questions on grammar.
