Native English speakers learn how to use English organically from childhood and whilst most know how to use the language correctly, few are consciously aware of the rules of grammar and syntax that govern the structure of the language - we just "know" how to say or write what we want. Before the age of about 7 the brain is hard wired to acquire language as an automatic process, dependant on continuing exposure to that language and, with sufficient levels of exposure, minimal conscious learning is required (accepted by scientific consensus). However mastering a second language as an adult or older child utilises a more conscious method of learning whereby the correct use of English will require learning the rules of grammar and how, when and why to apply them. These rules can seem very overwhelming and it is up to the teacher to approach the issue of grammar in a way that is appropriate and not too intimidating or daunting for the students.
