PREFACE
This book is intended to use by students working alone or as supplementary
drill material in a class. It has been written with a view of teaching the
fundamentals and basic principles of functional grammar.
Functional grammar is incidental grammar which is acquired by the pupils
unconsciously by imitation or consciously by observation and deduction. In the
very process of learning the correct sentence patterns, the pupil is learning
grammar. This disguised and unformulated grammar is called functional
grammar
Every attempt has been made to make the study of grammar appealing and
interesting to young students. The grammar has been introduced is a beautiful
synthesis of the traditional grammar and the modern structural approach. Such
a happy blend will surely enable pupils to learn all the language skills in a
proper way.
All the topics of this book are treated in a simple and clear way, presented for
students of Secondary Schools in Tanzania, and other countries in East Africa.
The author has taken lot of pain to refer different grammar books to collect
information and put them in a simple and understandable manner as a request
from many students. It is a very useful book mainly for Form One students of
Tanzania, because this book has been prepared mostly following the syllabus of
Form One. All the exercises are already worked out to make the students' work
easier. Teachers can make use of same exercises or can construct similar ones as
exercises.
