Objective of the Study

language is. 5 The more structural and grammatical their language, it would be easier for the student in using the language and it also would make the reader or the student ’s partner in communication easier getting the student’s ideas. It means the communication between them, either in written or spoken language, would be well due to they didn’t get any confusing language usage. 2. The Importance of Grammar George Yule defined grammar as the method of how to explain the structure of phrases and sentences in such a way that we account for all grammatical sequences in a language and rule out all the ungrammatical sequences. 6 For instance: the phrase “the lucky boys” is a well-formed phrase in English, but the following two phrases are not at all well-formed. boys the lucky lucky boys the The asterisk used to indicate that the form is ungrammatical or unacceptable The example above showed that English has strict rules for combining words into phrases.

It can be concluded that to be grammatical correct, those type of phrase must have the sequence article + adjective + noun. From the explanation above, it seems that the rules of the sentences pattern is important to know in order to use the language in correct grammatically. The well- formed of language usage is important in order to get the clear understanding of foreign language usage between the student and other student, either in their reading, speaking, listening, and writing activities. It is supported by Peter Knapp and Megan Watkins who stated in their book that the grammar knowledge is needed in the process of becoming literate; furthermore language use from the implicit and 5 Gana Kumara, et al., The Effect of Task-Based Language Teaching and English Grammar Mastery toward Reading Comprehension of The Second Semester Students, e-Journal Program Pascasarjana Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, Vol. 1, 2013, p. 4. 6 George Yule, The Study of Language fourth edition, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2010, p. 81.
