Summary:
Over time, Grammar has become one of the most basic tools in the education systems of various countries around the world, including, of course the Greek education system for learning the proper use of a nation's language. Grammar includes more specifically, a set of different regulations, on the basis of which elements like phonology, morphology and syntax, phono-syntax as well as also morpho-phonology of a language are defined. Here, of course, we should also add that traditional Grammar deals mainly with morphology, while structural functionality examines morphology together with syntax and semantics. Grammar itself is, at the same time, intertwined with the projection of that form of language of a place that is considered official and the one that should be used.
A basic parameter in the grammar lesson, already in the first grades of education, is the teaching process of the past tenses. More specifically, the teaching of the tenses takes place in the last grades of the primary school, since at the first grades the children are taught the noun, the adjective, the verb etc. Indeed, in the context of Primary Education, we can see that there is a particular emphasis on teaching Past Continuous and Simple Past Tense, both in their energetic and passive voice.
The teaching of these particular past times is largely linked to the concept of the past, as well as the organization of grammar times as presented through the descriptions of the specific Grammar lesson and school textbooks.
At the same time, as will be shown in the present thesis, interest is also focused on the comparative approach to theory and presentation, while also focusing on the annotation of various illustrative activities. This comparative approach is also included among the grammar textbooks themselves.
