Answer

E) Similarly Text III: Grammar The grammar of a language is the description of the ways in which words can change their forms and can be combined into sentences in that language. If grammar rules are too carelessly violated, communication may suffer [...]. Linguists investigating native-speaker speech (and writing) have, over the years, devised various different systems to describe how language works. [...] There are, of course, many other rules that go to make up a native speaker’s competence. We are all happy to say It’s a big red car, but find the sentence It’s a red big car rather uncomfortable. This seems to be because we have a rule which says that when more than one adjective is placed before a noun, an adjective describing size comes before one of colour and not the other way round. [...] Competent speakers know how to use these smallest units of grammar (morphemes) to combine grammatically with words to create new meanings. (HARMER, J. The practice of English language teaching. 3. ed. UK: Pearson Education, 2001).
