Abstract
When we begin to learn a second language, the first step is to overcome the scenic fear and daring to speak. For this it is essential to have a good knowledge of grammar to can structure coherently what we want to speak of a fluency way.Grammar is the structural basis of the way we express ourselves. The more we realize how it works, how much more can control the direction and effectiveness of the way in which we and others used the language, help to promote accuracy, detect ambiguity, and exploit the wealth of expression available both in English and in other languages.

Introduction
When students are in the process ofacquisition of a second language, some more than others, they have tended to deify the grammar. Some teachers of English have been able to experience many situations and feelings in the classroom: fear, frustration, insecurity, resignation, Jubilee, impotence and overcoming, all related to grammar. The student of English as a foreign language is facing the study of grammar from three differentpositions: there are those that they curse the grammar, rising to the rank of "Hellfire"; others sanctify it and give it a "divine" significance in the language acquisition; and finally we meet those who valued in proportion and is used as a tool of communication. In my opinion, are the latter the most successful are.

The teaching of grammar is key and fundamental in the process of acquisition of asecond foreign language. Without grammar we can hardly talk, and if we do that it won't be a very correct and concrete way. In entire process of teaching and learning a second language we find ourselves with two key questions: oral fluency and accuracy. Do not need great knowledge of grammar to the second thing: we can make ourselves understood even committing major grammatical errors; however, forthe first thing yes we must possess a good level of grammar. English as a foreign language teacher are aware of the importance of grammar in foreign language acquisition and prove it every day in the classroom. Throughout the following pages I'll be developing the important role of grammar in the teaching and learning of a second language, revising concepts such as the training of teachers, andgrammar of the professor.
I. IMPORTANCE OF GRAMMAR IN TEACHING AND LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE

Before we talk about the importance of grammar as a factor important in the process acquisition of a second language, we must ask why learn grammar in the language class? The grammar of any language will help us learn a language in a way much more quickly and efficiently. Although it seems a waste oftime, learn a grammatical rule will help us to understand and form a series of new phrases.

There are different ways to teach grammar in the classroom, but I believe that an effective way for students to learn the fastidious and for some boring grammar rules, it is important the teacher to integrate these rules to communication situations which the learner can power in practice of usual andeffectively. We must remember that if the student learns a grammatical rule outside a context of use, may well be relegated to 'some' future use that probably never give.

In a classroom, activities about the grammar are developing a 'lesson' that is a class with structures and stages to be followed by the students and the teacher, which focus firstly, on linguistic structures and secondly, in thepresentation of the scenario where precisely those rules are to be used.

Therefore, the teacher should create a relevant context, in addition to the need for the use of the new structure. An also interesting case is present in a text (written or oral) these grammatical rules as a recurrent but always inserted phrases in a communicative process of easy access.
