“To teach or not to teach grammar in primary school classroom: that is the question”English is the second language in Malaysia, it has been included as a official program and taught already in primary school. These subjects must be taken by all students, from Level 1 to Form 5, and provide students with the English skills needed to meet the challenges of a future career. A student's level in English subjects is usually measured by their ability to listen, speak, read and write. English can be a very feared subject in school. According to experience and observation in secondary or primary school, the English subject is the lack of attention from students. Why did this happen? If you are a student, try asking yourself: do you love English as a subject? If you are used to using English at home, obviously the topic is not difficult for you. However, this topic will be a challenge for students if there is no guidance from parents or people around. If all parties cared about the importance of English, the problems faced by students could be avoided. We understand that learning grammar in the classroom plays an important role in establishing the use of English among students. But it is with much less attention and without emphasis than functional English that more students are asked to write an essay and speak in English and as a result many Malaysians are unable to form correct sentences in English. At the beginning of learning English, mastering grammar is very important because it is a basic guide for students. This is because we use grammar every time we read or write or even when we speak. Grammar provides all the rules for how to put words together in sentences. Using the verse......the center of the paper......in these figures or words. In conclusion, of course, teachers know the grammatical rules, but it is one thing to know them, it is another thing to know them, teach them effectively and send them to students not only to understand the rules, but also to apply them correctly. In some things, teachers and students don't need a book to learn and teach English grammar. At least not in teaching English as a second language. That's not why students exist. They don't want to know all these rules, they're not interested. They want to learn English. They want to speak, read and write in English. So how can we, teachers of English as a second language, teach them important grammar and give them what we need, instead of boring them to death with the rules contained in hokum grammar itself? It's actually quite easy to teach grammar in context and in a fun way.
