Soooo, we're having our last two assistantships regarding Syntax. We have seen how sentences are organized with simple words and also the different types of phrases, can you recall them all? Now, the following assistantships will be focused on Clauses and the 3 different types of clauses we can find within a sentence.
So, What can you remember about all these contents? Do you think Syntax is important in our learning process? Why or why not? Why is Syntax important for our students? I will leave those questions here so you can answer in the comments box, remember that your comments here also count as participation :D. See you around!
Hi Freddy!
ReplyDeletePersonally, it has been really useful to learn how words are organized in phrases (and then sentences) and be able to recognize how to structure them properly. I was frankly interesting to learn how relevant is to know which function each word has in a sentence, instead of just being focus on its lexical category.
On the other hand, I truly believe that being aware of the differences between prescriptive grammar and descriptive grammar will be useful as a future English teacher. Honestly, it really helped me to become into a more open-minded person, because I used to ignore how language was really used if it wasn't used "properly" accordingly to prescriptive grammar rules.
Hope this finds you well.
See you around ;)
