However, students still find difficulties in learning process because the language is different, and many English learners fail to learn English as foreign language. English consists of four skills they are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. And it has three components they are pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Based on the writers experience as English teacher, one of the difficulties faced by students is grammar, and it is important for us to learn grammar.
