1. 
The Importance of Grammar in learning a Foreign Language 
Grammar is one of the components of language together with the 
sound system and vocabulary. Studying grammar teaches you how total and 
write correctly. Teaching grammar of the pupils deals with the formation of 
grammar skills of the schoolchildren. That means the assimilation of word 
forms and combination of words in phrases and sentences, the study of how 
words and phrases are arranges in the expression of thoughts and ideas. This 
study (grammar ) of the language is parallel to a biologist’s study of a plant 
or animal: What are the various organs in this organism? How for they 
work? What do they do? How do they interact with one another? The learner 
needs to know what the words of the language are and what they mean. He 
also needs to know how to combine these words to say what he wants to say. 
A command of the grammar structure of the language of the pupil 
ensures hearing, speaking, reading and writing. Grammar play the role of

forming and arranging the words, because like the vocabulary and the sound 
structure of the language grammar also makes material based of the 
language. It gives one definite meaning to the words in order to express the 
meaning (idea). 
E.g.
саган
, 
китапты
, 
бердим
, 
мен
- these are morphological aspect 
of grammar. At the same time these word forms are arranged into word 
combinations, sentences and texts, according to the syntactical features of 
the language. 
That means a person having starts to utter the first word takes himself 
a grammatical obligation. It stimulates for searching rules of combination of 
words as a whole unit in the mind. Without assimilating the grammar 
mechanic, of the language one may fail to understand the sentence or to 
express himself correctly even if all the words are familiar: 
E.g. 
We saw him book a ticket. It made me return home.
Because each 
of the examples includes some grammar difficulties for Karakalpak - 
speaking pupils (here infinitive construction and unusual meaning of the 
familiar words 
book
and 
make
). The pupil must look the word 
book
up in a 
dictionary under 
v
. In the second sentence the verb 
make
is used in the 
meaning of «
заставлять
». The pupil can easily recognise it f he has learnt 
the infinitive construction.
No speaking is possible without the knowledge of grammar, without 
the forming of a grammar mechanism. If a learner has acquired such a 
mechanism, he can produce correct sentences in a foreign language. Paul 
Roberts writes: «Grammar is something that produces the sentences of 
language. By something we mean a speaker of English. If you speak English 
natively, you have built into you the ruled of English grammar. In a sense, 
you are an English grammar. You posses, as an essential part of your being, 
a very complicated apparatus which enables you to produce infinitely many 
sentences, all English ones, including many that you have never specifically 
learned. Furthermore, by applying your rule you can easily tell whether 
sentences that your hear is grammatical English sentence or not.» 
A command of English as is envisaged by the school syllabus cannot 
be ensured without the study of grammar. Pupils need grammar to be able to 
and, speak, read, and write in the target language.
