Introduction

What is grammar

English for Specific purposes is a widely used branch of linguistics which is taught as separate subject in different schools and universities. It is known with the abbreviation ESP. Much is known about ESP generally, but little is known about how much grammar is included in the textbooks aimed for ESP teaching and learning. There are often textbooks published and used in those classes, but grammar is not presented enough in those materials. This paper aims to show that when there is not enough material for teaching grammar in ESP, the teachers should improvise or create some kinds of exercises to fill the gap. These examples shown below are authors’ ideas for few grammar units such as present tense, conditionals and past simple tense. These exercises are more attractive for the learners because they are different from the standard books. This is especially important with the young generations which are somehow bored by being slaves of the books. The paper does not include all branches of ESP but covers only few of them. The authors give definitions of ESP, as part of a literature review and then the examples given start with Business English. Besides, the paper includes other examples of video and text exercises for Medical English and English for Arts.

Why is grammar is important

To summarize, grammar is important in our lives to clarify the meaning and main point in either conversation or paper. Grammar is extremely important and is used in our everyday lives. If you want to go anywhere in life you need grammar. It is an essential factor to jobs, college, and life in general. Through proper grammar, we can communicate clearly in a way readers or listeners understand. Good grammar is key to effective communication, whereas bad grammar leads to surprising mistakes.
