Abstract


English is a universal language and taught in countries in which English is a foreign or second language. There are some essential reasons behind this is that it is the main language of the Internet, media, books, newspapers, airports, international trade and commerce, scientific magazines and communication. Therefore, mastering the use of English to read, write, speak, and translate is quite meaningful. Under these circumstances, grammar acquisition comes to the fore and becomes indispensable science any language without grammar is like a disability. It must also be pointed out that grammar is one of the main systems of a language, and comprises the rules that show how language items are put together in order to make a correct utterance. This paper illustrates grammar plays an unshakable role in second language acquisition.
