Nowadays, English has clearly diminated the world. In fact, business, politics, and social media are just a few
reasons why people all over the world study the English language. English is a language with incredibly diverse
grammar rules depending on origin and upbringing.
Firstly, all grammar structures, from traditional to modern, have an equal and important part to play in the dynamic
and exponential growth of the English language. To be successful on the international stage, one has to have a basic
understanding of the language. This is due to the fact that English is widely spoken in the world.
Secondly, the emphasis of this paper laid on how language is used as opposed to rules. Structural grammar focuses
on the analysis of language structure. This is a complex method of studying language. This form is more of a
theoretical framework than a form of grammar. Both prescriptive and descriptive styles often exist together.
Language is dynamic and no form of grammar is superior to the other.
Next, English grammar rules vary depending on the country, region, society, and state. However, there have been
many initiatives to teach English grammar in an instructive manner. In my case, English is a second language. There
are three forms of grammar: prescriptive, descriptive, and structural styles, yet, none is superior to the others. There
is no single effective method of teaching English grammar; all grammar styles have a special role to play.
Unfortunately, the rules are not universal. In other regions, rules for combining parts of speech may be different.
This gives rise to a situation in which one sentence may convey two separate messages. Therefore, learners should
be informed of this fact at an early. This is to enable them adapt to various situations they find themselves in.
Actually, one style of grammar originated from an English philosopher in 1693. This style of grammar is seen as a
traditional form of grammar. It is described as prescriptive grammar. Prescriptive grammar is based on the premise
that everything is in black and white. It is followed by preordained rules on how English should be and will be
spoken and taught
In general, when English is taught in the classroom, it is taught in the prescriptive grammar form. Prescriptive
grammar focuses on the traditional language structure. This tends to ignore the fact that language should be about
communication but not rules. There are many situations in which native speakers use grammatically incorrect
sentences, yet they manage to communicate well. Language is dynamic and imposing strict grammar rules may not
be the answer.
