Despite the importance of the grammar instruction in any language, I believe that grammar should not be included in second language classes for beginners who just start to learn a language. The beginners should learn how to understand the language first. The grammar instruction will be not useful for the students unless they understand the meaning.

However after the conquest, educated men pursuing recognition would speak in Anglo-French. When…
