Grammatical Approaches such astraditional, structural, systemic functional and transformation generative grammars were examined. Traditional types of grammars basically were rule governed. Rules were laid down for the formulation of what was seen by grammarians and linguists as principles for the correct usage of the language. Structural grammar/linguistics involves collecting a corpus of utterances at their different linguistic levels such as; the phonemes, morphemes, lexical categories, noun phrases, verb phrases and sentence. Systematic functional grammar is part of a social semiotic approach to language called systematic functional linguistic; here two approaches were used namely systematic and functional. Systematic refers to the view of language as a network of system, or interrelated sets of options for making meanings while functional refers to Haliday‟s multidimensional architecture of language which reflects the multidimensional nature of human experience and interpersonal relations. Finally, transformational generative grammar considers grammar to be a system of procedures that generate exactly those combinations of words that form grammatical sentences in a given language and involves the use of defined operation called transformation to process new sentences from existing ones. Conclusion was drawn, identifying the similarities, differences and peculiarities of the grammar approaches. Keywords: Grammar, Study, Approaches and Different
