I mean, we could wax philosophical and go even deeper and say, well, grammar is the thing

that makes everything possible.

It's what are all these things called and what are the rules that govern their behavior?

And when we start failing to identify things and when we start failing to understand the rules that govern their

behavior, and that extends beyond English or a foreign language or anything. There's the grammar

of stuff in life. And when we fail to understand the rules that govern behavior,

we're actually failing then to understand the thing itself.

This is your morning basket,

where we help you bring truth, goodness, and beauty to your homeschool day.

Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 99 of the Your Morning Basket podcast. I'm Pam Barnhill, your host,

and I'm so happy that you're joining me here today.

Well, on today's episode of the podcast, we have the very wonderful Andrew Poudoua, who is probably one of the biggest influences in my own homeschool, started all of that reading aloud and

memorizing poetry thanks to Andrew, and he's just had such a huge impact

through the years as we've used more and more of IEW's wonderful materials, teaching the kids

to write, to handwrite, and to do composition as well. So love having Andrew on the show,

as always, and today he's going to be talking all

about grammar. Now, hold on to your hats because this is not the podcast that you might expect it to be.

We do talk a little bit about nouns and verbs and things like that, but Andrew also talks about

kind of the three modes

of learning grammar. I'm going to let him share with you what those are and how one of those

morning time is absolutely the perfect fit for that. So we're going to be diving deep into what

grammar means and how we can learn it in our homeschool and why is it even important for us
