Cambridge Delta Modules Module OneGrammar"an enthusiasm for compartmentalization, inherited from grammars of classical languages, has given rise to the elaborate architecture of the so-called tense system including such grammar McNuggets as the future-in-the-past, and the past perfect continuous, not to mention the conditionals, first, second and third features of the language that have little or no linguistic, let alone psychological, reality.Scott ThornburyG is for Grammar MacNugget.

- 19. Cambridge Delta Modules Module OneGrammar"the role of 'grammar' in language courses is often discussed as if 'grammar' were one homogeneous kind of thing. In fact, 'grammar' is an umbrella term for a large number of separate or loosely related language systems, which are so varied in nature that it is pointless to talk as if they should all be approached in the same way. How we integrate the teaching of structure and meaning will depend to a great extent on the particular language items involved."Michael Swanpp. 148-152'Seven Bad Reasons for Teaching Grammar and two good reasons for teaching some.'
