Grammar of Emotions

We all learn English grammar throughout our lifetime and there never seems to be enough. We can do it using multiple approaches. It can be our choice to regard grammar as a set of rules just to be "learnt" using exercises and training drills. This may be somewhat boring and time-consuming. Alternatively, we can absorb and digest it through reading books, watching movies and talking, thus acquiring it "naturally" without much explanation. This "natural acquisition" may leave room for many questions and doubts in terms of acuracy. We suggest combining both approaches and explaining many rules of English grammar through their emotional implications, giving a reason for choosing the grammar forms that will then come naturally into the context. Emotions are the basis for so many things in life - including grammar, strange as it may seem. Discovering grammar through emotions and making your own choice based on them is both helpful and enjoyable. Love grammar and it will love you back - it is reciprocal.
