Syntax: A Final
Thought
As previously noted, syntax is closely associated with grammar, so it was a toss-up for me as to which to cover first. I opted for looking at word order first because I thought it was important to make the observation that a word has a morphological description AND a syntactic position. Both of these distinctions are useful for an ELL teacher. Now let’s talk about grammar and what you should and should not know about the “g” word and language instruction.
