An Introduction to Functional Grammar

An Introduction to Functional Grammar is a way of studying language by focusing on how it works in real communication. Instead of just looking at rules or structure, it examines how words and sentences serve specific purposes, like giving information, asking questions, or making requests. This approach considers language as a tool for social interaction, highlighting how different parts of speech and sentence types help us express different meanings and functions in everyday life. It helps us understand not just what words mean, but how they are used effectively in context.
