Explain how the grammatical structure of children’s spoken language advances in early childhood
What will be an ideal response?
Children gradually add the grammatical inflections that were missing from telegraphic speech, such as present progressive, as well as articles.
The complexity and variety of structures also increases as children learn to use basic subject-verb-object structure in sentences.
Verbs are learned gradually by using them in narrow contexts at first, and then increasingly widely as children hear verbs used in many different contexts that help the child understand what it means.
