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.

constant support and encouragement throughout my endeavor
