Abstract


Syntax is a set of rules that govern the structure of sentences in the semantic arrangement to denote the lexical meaning but the question is whether these lexical elements can be used syntactically or not. Sentences can be made by using any syntactic pattern and they denote whether the sentences are simple, complex or compound. There have been many innovative ways to put these syntactic ways into the right use. But the truth in understanding the syntactic methods especially through the application of grammar could pose a serious problem to a non-English speaking learner who is willing to learn the English language. In this article, I have tried to explain simple ways for a non-English speaker to understand the importance of syntax in a generalised way. Sentences that require more thinking to express specific ideas can be more complex in their syntactic way. Every individual who is willing to learn English language may not be from literature or linguistic background and hence the need arises to simplify the syntactic approach in non-English speakers' perspective.
