Importance of Functional English

– Functional grammar, based on systemic linguistics,


emphasizes the way spoken and written language operate
indifferent social situations. In particular, it is very useful
in showing how texts work beyond the level of the
sentence, how different texts are structured, and how
language varies to suit the purpose of the users.
What is Grammar?

– It is a set of rules which is followed to speak and write a language


correctly. It is different for different languages across the world.
But there is a prescribed grammar for the language of English,
which we shall follow. Like language, grammar is also
continuously evolving and changing. So in order to speak
grammatically correct English one must me follow English
grammar.
What is Functional Grammar?

A basic understanding of functional grammar and style is


essential for effective technical communication. Functional
grammar focuses on the way language is put together so
that meaning is communicated for particular purposes and
looks at a language as a system of meaning.
He said he would be back soon.
Why grammar is required?

– It helps us in proper sentence structure. It derives a complete meaning to the


sentence. The language spoken or written by us can be understood universally, if
it is grammatically correct. Finally, it helps in communicating effectively. As it is
able to produce desired meaning from the sentence, it is well accepted and
proper response is available. And the process of communication can be
completed fruitfully.
– In English language, letters (26) frames words, and words are connected with
each other following the rules of grammar to make meaningful sentences.
‘Word’ is a group of letters combined together to form some meaning.
