and speaking) the teaching and learning of grammar and vocabulary is necessary. Young pupils are often not able to think in abstract terms, and are still developing mental concepts. So, they may not be able to analyse language through a grammatical perspective. The teacher should avoid using grammar terms (e.g. passive verb, subject, object) and focus instead on what grammar can do to achieve communication. Lesson plans should include tasks which use grammar to achieve a goal. Provide a context for the grammar item that is taught. Keep in mind that pupils may learn easily but forget quickly. Recycle new grammar items frequently to help them remember.

index card with a particular colored marker. For example, write the subject "cat" in blue. 2 Look at the list of words that show action. With a different color marker, write a verb on another index card that can make sense with your subject. 3. Express a complete sentence by using the two words in a noun- verb sequence aloud. Trade "noun" cards with your friends if you like.
4 Next, write an adjective in a third colour. Include articles a, an and the, which can be written with the same color as adjectives. Eg: The naughty

Conclusion
At the end of the day, our aim in teaching grammar is to enable pupils to apply what they have learnt in their speech and writing. Therefore, let us not make the learning of grammar an end by itself through meaningless drills and endless memorisation. All teaching and learning of grammar must be done in a meaningful way so that pupils are able to grasp grammar rules and apply them correctly. Do not despair if your pupils find it hard to grasp grammar or take a long time to do so. Remember , English grammar rules can be logic defying as the English language has grammar rules and an almost equal number of exceptions to the rules!! That is why , sometimes, even adults find it hard to grasp grammar perfectly! So, what more with our children!!
