This document discusses several special grammatical features of language including number, person, tense, register, collocations, and word class. It provides examples of each feature to illustrate their meanings. Register refers to what is appropriate in certain contexts, and collocations are combinations of words that commonly go together and sound natural to native speakers. The document emphasizes the importance of learning collocations to speak more naturally and have a broader range of expression. It concludes by defining word class as the category a word falls into according to its use in a sentence, such as noun or adjective.

Special Grammatical Features

What are grammatical features?



In attempting to understand language, many researchers use features, the
elements into which linguistic units, such as words, can be broken down.
Examples of features are NUMBER (singular, plural, dual, ...), PERSON (1st,
2nd, 3rd), and TENSE (present, past,etc

We can teach certain grammatical features to make the meaning clear.

Register
What is appropriate in certain circumstances.
Example:
I dislike to play basketball. (It is incorrect)
I dislike playing basketball.
Collocations
A collocation is a combination of words that are commonly used together; the
simplest way of describing collocations is to say that they just sound right to
native English speakers. Other combinations that may mean the same thing
would seem unnatural. Collocations include noun phrases like stiff wind
andweapons of mass destruction, phrasal verbs such asto get together and
other stock phrases such asthe rich and famous
It is important to learn collocations, because they are important for the
naturalisation of ones speech. Besides, they broaden ones scope for expression.
For example:
Make homework.
Do homework.
Do me a favour
Do the cooking
Have a bath
Have a drink
Break a leg
Break a promise

Word class
Parts of Spech.-Group of words that are used in a certain way.
All words belong to categories called word classes (or parts of speech) according
to the part they play in a sentence.


Example:
Love = Noun = Abstract
Activity

Several students should recognize each of the images and their respective
caraterstica adjectives on the board. And in turn should make sentences with each
of the adjectives found.
