DO NATIVE ENGLISH-SPEAKERS LEARN ENGLISH GRAMMAR WHEN THEY ARE KIDS?

Adults can learn grammar in two ways: deductively (focus on form) or inductively (focus on meaning). Both have advantages and disadvantages.

Learning grammar deductively is usually easier. It's a top-down approach where you learn the rules and apply them in conversation. The grammar-translation method would be an example of this.

Learning grammar inductively is usually more difficult. It's a bottom-up approach where learners find out the rules of the language from examples and interacting with it. The direct method is an example of this.

[JOKE] Questions tourists ask

Questions tourists ask

Tourists ask a lot of questions as we travel between the Hawaiian Islands on my charter boat. Some people wanted to know, "Does the water go all the way around the island?" Another asked, "How much further until we're in the ocean?" But the one that made me want to jump overboard was, "Can you please take the boat closer to the sunset?"
