1. We have so many sentences in English which violate the rules of grammar but
are acceptable on the account of being found in current usage. But, for a
learner of English as a second language, such sentences may trigger confusion.
So, it is a responsibility of the teacher to make his/ her students familiar with
the rules that they may refer to while using the language.

2. The variety of English Indian speaks in non-native. It bears the interference of

the mother tongue and so the resultant sentences and expressions are found
liable to violating the rules. These variations are not universal and found in the
variety of English spoken in India only and so considered to be unacceptable.

3. Children while learning their first language follow and internalize the rules of
the language unconsciously. This makes them believe that their first language
does not have many rules. They can easily distinguish between well-formed
and ill-formed sentences. However, they cannot easily state the rule on the
basis of which they make such distinctions.

4. Certainly the language of language is universal phenomenon, but it does not

mean anyone one can learn any language with equal ease. The age of the
learner plays a vital role in learning a new language. The innate capacity to
learn language may motivate the learner to some extent but there are so many
other important factors that may challenge this idea.

5. Using Isnt it? as a question tag in English is inappropriate for all kinds of
sentences regardless of number, person and tense. In the sentence: Those are
your book, isnt it? the use of Isnt it? is inappropriate and it should have
been Arent they?. However, the pronoun and verb been this and is
respectively, the use of Isnt it? would have been appropriate.
