   The way learners go about learning question forms raises questions about learning in general – I will highlight some of these questions and speculate on possible explanations.

   Why do people think grammar is primarily 'rules'?

   • Thinking of grammar as primarily ‘rules’ tends to make people think there is a one-to-one relationship between grammar and meaning. As we will see in the next task, the same meaning can be expressed in different ways, and even with different tenses.

   Why do we write?

   • We write to communicate our ideas, opinions and discoveries. If the way we write obscures these goals in any way, then we must rethink our approach. Some people think grammar is unimportant, being a secondary issue to the main thrust of their writing.

   Is there a grammatical rule for who?

   • There is a formal grammatical rule to be followed, but it requires us to be more aware than usual of the state of our pronouns. Who and whom are both pronouns. Who is a subjective pronoun, used when the pronoun is the subject of the clause. Whom is an objective pronoun, used when the pronoun acts as the object of the clause.

   How do grammatical systems work?

   • Learners begin to form hypotheses about how grammatical systems work and teachers can help them do so. A good example is the relationship between continuous and simple tenses in English. In most elementary English courses learners begin by recognising the difference in meaning between the present simple and the present continuous.

   Why do some nouns behave in the same way?

   • Once learners are aware that some nouns in English behave in this way they may immediately make links with similar nouns in their own language, and as a result go on to generalise that abstract ideas (beauty, bravery, death etc.) and activities (help, travel, sleep etc.) behave in the same way.

   Language is primarily a tool for communication, yet many textbooks still treat English grammar as simply a set of rules and facts to be memorized by rote. This new textbook is made for students who are frustrated with this approach and would like instead to understand grammar and how it works.
