As Rutherford (1987) referred, grammar teaching almost equals to foreign language teaching for more than two thousand and five hundred years. Thus, the significance of grammar teaching cannot be doubted. Grammar is deemed to be an inseparable part of English teaching and learning. It is fundamental for English listening, speaking, reading and writing. Grammar also is one of the three basic components (pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar) of language, and is significant for people to learn language and to communicate.
