DEFINITION OF GRAMMAR
First of all, lets say what is grammar with plenty definitions:
The whole system and structure of a language or of languages in general, usually taken as consisting of syntax and morphology (including inflections) and sometimes also phonology and semantics.
A particular analysis of the system and structure of language or of a specific language.
A set of actual or presumed prescriptive notions about correct use of a language.
A set of rules governing what strings are valid or allowable in a language or text.
LEVEL OF ENGLISH
After defining grammar, we can say that there are a lot of ways to know the level of grammar, or all the language in general of someone. The most used way to show the level of English of someone is with the CEFR English levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). These are used to denominate how many knowledge on English you have to know on stuff like: Writting an essay, doing an exam, etc.
LEVEL A1
It requires you to understand a basic english, use familiar everyday expressions and make pretty basic sentences to communicate on everyday actions. Normally, this level of english is present on the children, saying the typical questions and phrases.
Examples:
-Can I go to the bathroom?
- My name is ___.
- Hello, how are you?
- I am ___ years old.
- Bye, see you later.
Basically, this English level is based on the sentences necessary when you do some human interaction, and obviously, its the simplest one.
LEVEL A2
When you can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (like very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment, etc). It also requires you to communicate in simple ways with most people. And finally, describe in simple aspects of the background, the environment and matters in areas of immediate need. Normally present on advanced elementary kids.
Examples:
- He is the best soccer player on the whole world.
- I bet that his house is bigger than hers.
- You have to quit smoking.
- What could I do?
- He should take some medicine to cure his illness.
- Mike won't go to my house after all.
-I was running so fast when I fell off.
In this level, you learn the use of superlative and comparatives, the imperatives (orders), how to use could/should, the use of will, Wh- question in present/past, past simple, present perfect, and other stuff. Since this level people can start saying that they know English.
LEVEL B1
It requires you to understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, and other enviroments. You have to deal with most situations likely to arise, and can speak regularly with English speakers. It also requires to produce simple connected text on topics which are familiar or of personal interest. Normally present on highschool kids.
Examples:
-He speaks nicely.
-Neither me or Mike stealed the money to Jose.
-You should have done that.
-He might forgive her.
-I will be arriving late to your house because of the traffic.
-If I had told you about it, you could've knew it wasn´t OK.
-You like it, doesn´t you?
This level is pretty much the same than the A2, but in a more advanced way. Also, it puts some new things on the table, like: the use of neither, either and both, conditionals on 2nd and 3rd person, future continous, question tags, and some other things. In this level, you can communicate normally with an English speaker in a simple way, and understand pretty much everything he/she says.
IMPORTANCE OF PROGRESSING ON THE ENGLISH LEVEL AND CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, progressing on the English level is important if you want to learn it; but the changes between levels have to be slow enough, for stopping the person from overcharging of information. And finally, I agree with these levels of English, because they are concrete to identify what knowledge you need for doing something, and you can also learn gradually with them.
