15 actively get involved in teaching learning process and do a lot of practices. The
teacher also should manage the class in good way and be creative in teaching learning process.
C. Concept of Grammar
Grammar is one of the components in English Language. Teaching English as a foreign language needs grammar, because by mastering grammar the student will be
able to speak, state or write correctly. Garmmar is very important learning English as a foreign language. It is primary knowledge of languge to arrange or construct certain
sentence or utterance. According to Thornbury, grammar mastery should be have by the students to help theirs speak and write English well. Grammar is the process for
making speakers or writers meaning clear when contextual information lacking.

Rodney said, “there are hardly any professions in which an ability to write and speak crispy and effectively without grammatical mistakes is not a requirement on some
occasions. Although a knowledge of grammar will not on its own create writing skills, there is good reason to think that understanding the structure of sentence helps
to increase sensitivity to some of the important factors that distinguish good writing from bad.”

16 We know that every language has its own structure. Finnociaro and Bonomo said
that structure as the recuring pattern of language elements as they occur in front of words and in arrangement of word in utterance.
19
Grammar really needed for the language learners because grammar is important roles both in writing and speaking. If
the students have understood about grammar, they will be able to make good sentence or utterance easily.
Thornbury said that Grammar is a description of the rules that govern how a language sentences are formed or partly the study of what forms or structure are possible in a
language.
20
It means that grammar is how a language formed by using good structure and put the word in right place, the student will have knowledge of grammar to
increase their writing.
From the statement above, the reseacher assumes that grammar is a system of rules to arrange sentence with word order, verb, noun system, modifies, phrases and clauses.
Discourse rules tell us how to string those sentences together. We can conclude that English structure plays important thing to construct sentence and last becomes a
sentence and it is very important for those who want to learn it especially for student. It is the way for them to understand and develop their ability such as in speaking and
writing. Their knowledge of structure will control whether they make mistake or not.

17 The practice of grammar in students‟ activity, especially at school is important thing
to increase the students‟ grammar mastery because the aim of grammar practice is to get the students to learn the structures, so throughly that they will be able to produce
sentence correctly on their own. Grammar has three basic components constituents that is
lexical categories
such as verb, noun, adjective;
article categories
such as noun, pronoun, noun phrase; and
functions
such as subject, object, predicator, modifier, indirect object, question.
21
Based on the explanation above, the researcher can conclude that English structure
plays important thing to construct sentences and last becomes a sentence and it is very important for those who want to learn it especially for student. It is the way for
them to understand and develop their ability such as in speaking and writing. Their knowledge of structure will control whether they make mistake or not. In this
research, the researcher will focus on transforming interrogative sentences.
