7. GRAMMAR RULES
PRESCRIPTIVE: grammar instructions is
associate with teaching what should
be said or written – we have to follow.
DESCRIPTIVE: rules about what speakers
of the language actually do say rather
than with what they should do
( more useful what is necessary to say)
PEDAGOGIC: make sense to learners.
Rules of Form.- generally easier to formulate.
“follow a pattern” – “a model”
Rules of Use.- are less easily accommodated into
a general rule. (depend on specific situations)
