Morphology is word parts. Syntax is word order. A Form-Function Grammar: Level 1 is the first workbook in the elementary series that builds up to A Form-Function Description of the Grammar of the Modern English Language for Junior High, a textbook and workbook that provides a descriptive grammar that strives to provide an objective description of English as used without value judgements. The goal of Level 1 is to introduce many of the word classes (parts of speech, grammatical forms) of English. Level 1 includes nouns, determiners, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions, and interjections. Level 1 also introduces noun phrases. In addition to forms, Level 1 also introduces some functions of the English language including subject and predicate. Level 1 is recommended for ages 5 to 7 in kindergarten through first grade. The answers to all the activities are located at the end of the workbook.
