PREFACE
- Being a Filipino learner in the system of rules in
Grammar as well as to those person who equipped their
knowledge.

There are the survey questionnaire that led to sign by the

surveyor who permanently accomplished its solemn
information, it is also consist of coherent paging.

In the second-language situation, mastery of form does not

guarantee communicative proficiency, neither those
communicatice practice necessarily result in mastery of
form. This thesis represents of understanding in a way
through done by the survey test, yet it still a better
learning institutions to any of individual standards.

Grammar in focus
- In the bilingual setup, only grammatical patterns and
forms needed in the Philippine setting be taught to the
point of their mastery.

- Concepts, values, and skills necessary for young Filipino

citizens, not just to fulfill themselves as Filipino citizens of

Chapter l: The Problem and its Setting

Introdution

English Grammar have started to somewhat thousand years

ago, it is a set of principles which a language function.
English Grammar serves as guide to ways that words can
be arranged and changed so that the people can
communicate easily and accurately.

All languages do not function in the same way. Latin

depends heavily on changes in the forms of words,
Chinese stresses the pitch of the speaker's vaire English
emphasizes the order of words.

Many Grammarians, believes that babies began to learn

basic grammar during their first year. By the age of 4 or 5
years old, children have absorbed enough of it to
communicate their thoughts. By the time they start school,
they have used grammar continually for several years, but
they study grammar in school to improve understanding of
their language and lot other language.

Just as some people drive cars better than others do,

some speaks and write more grammatically than others. A
language that does not change becomes a dead language.
Latin is a dead language because it exist almost exclusively
as literature written centuries ago. To change, a language
and its system that further be used everyday life.
Many people want to know what is " correct" or "
incorrect " English. A sentence may be grammatical or
ungrammatical, but no absolute agreement exists about all
usage and standard practices. The best guide to usage of
English is what is appropriate or inappropriate at any
particular time or place. Dictionaries and grammar hand
books can provide guidelines for appropriate.

Statement of the Problem

In this study, the major problem was to find out the

performance of the residents in Purok 6 Brgy. Santolan
regarding to the subject or topic in English Grammar, it
will help us to know their interest and will somewhat
influence us in good ways .

Specifically, it cought the answer the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:
* Age
* Sex
* Educational Attainments
* Civil Status

Scope and Limitations

This study was on the evaluation of the residents whom

live in Purok 6 Brgy. Santolan, these are use to rate their
performance in English Grammar. It involved the
perceptions of forty (30) respondents composed of the
persons living in Santilan and were selected by random
sampling.

The main source of data was the survey Questionnaire

which was prepared by the researcher and statistically
treated by the use of descriptive such as frequency,
percentage, means and graphical analysis.
The study was conducted for two (2) months.

Significance of the Study

The study will be significant to the following

 To the respectful residents of Purok 6 Brgy. Santolan,

because they will be informed of how important
learning English is not only they can gain knowledge
and performance from it, it can also be a rewarding
part of their lives, yet learning the technique of
Grammar in how it will use to the progress state of
our community, even in fulfilling their goals in life and
in obtaining their fruitful success.
  Also to the learner of any individual any of its type
of profession, that brings, importance and good things
to conduct more advantage to the real linguistic of
world.

Chapter ll. Related Literature and studies

The History of English

The history of English is conventionally; if perhapse too
neatly, divided into three periods usually old English, (or
Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, and Modern English. The
Earliest period begins with the migration of certain
Germanic tribes from the continent Britain in the 5th
century A.D., through records of their language survive
from before the seventieth century, and it continues until
the end of the eleventh century.

The Ststem of Language

The grammatical system of a language governs the
way in which words are put together to form the largest
unit of discourse mentioned earlier. Grammar, of course,
varies a great deal from language to language just a
lexicon does, in English, word order is a dominant factor
determining meaning while the use of inflectional endings
to mark the grammatical function of individual words within
a sentence plays a clearly subordinate role throurgh
important in some ways {as in indicating the number of
noun the case of personal pronoun and the tense of verb}.
Other languages show markedly different paterns, such as
Latin with its elaborate set of paradings for nouns, verbs,
adjective and pronouns in highly flexible word order. The
semantic system of language has to do with meanings and
thus the relation between the conventionalized symbols
that contribute through language. The phonological system
of a language is what allows a speaker of that language
has to do with meaning into a flow uttered sounds that
can be heard and interpretd {accurately, if all goes well}
by another speaker of language. This system is always very
tightly organized. The inventory of meaningful units of
sounds within a language { called phonemes by linguistics}
is never very large compared with the number of words
and word of element with about 40 Phonemes are
identified by the fact in some pair of words they create a
contrast that's signals a different meaning we consider the
vowel sounds of trip and trap to be different phonemes
because the difference in the vowel sounds is the sole
determinant of their being two distinct words. Their
consonant sound are identical.

Assumptions

I assumed that most of the people have slight

uninterested and that they are most instead in doing other
things rather to focus on their intellectual studies on
English Grammar, and I found out that there are some
similarities of what I had assumed. The respondents are
logically interpreted that their performance in English
Grammar affected by act of not being such studios and
focussing only to peers or companions, but I also found
out that the reasons why they are sometimes considerate
to the subject because, it regards to their mutual interest
or to do it typically some reasons.

Chapter lll. Research Methodology

This chapter presents the descriptions of the research

design, the population and samples of the study, sampling
procedure, research instruments, the data-gathering
techniques, data processing and the statistical treatment of
the data.
Reaserch Design

This study is primarily a descriptive study using the

normal survey method, which made use of the perceptions
of the respondents as its main source of data.

Population And Sampling

The respondents of the study were forty (30) respondents
composed of people who residents of Purok 6 Brgy.
Santolan in a random sampling through statistical
manipulations of data.

Research Instrument

 The main instrument used in this study was a

survey questionnaire made by the researcher which
 consisted of twenty-two (22) items about the status
perceptions of the respondents in Purok 6 Brgy.
Santolan.

Data Collection

The questions were disturbed to the respondents on the

last week of May. It the researcher is only one (1) week
to retrieve or collect the questionnaires for the data
needed in the study.
Statistical Treatment of Data

Data collection were classified, tabulated, and coded for

analysis using sample discriptive statistics such as frequency
counts and percentage.

The percentage was computed by using this formula:

P = F/NN×100
  Where:
 P=Percentage
 F= Frequency
 N= Total no. Of rrrespondents
