Through analyzing what grammar is and traditional class grammar teaching, it is concluded that grammar as a subject off language courses has been developing, and grammar learning and teaching is useful. Based on the traditional grammar, the development of grammar has gone through so many changes-prescriptive grammar, traditional grammar, structural grammar, systemic grammar, TG grammar, teaching grammar, universal grammar, and some even said that there is cultural grammar. Different as they are called, they share the same features-rules of a language, structural studies of a language, etc.Traditional pattern drills teaching has been extended to conscious teaching and unconscious teaching. Grammar teaching has gone out of the field of syntactics, it concerns several levels such as phonology, lexicon, syntactics, contexts, etc.It is not easy to say what kind of grammar teaching is better. In this paper, I try to give a prospect off grammar teaching concerning the sequences off grammar development for both children and adult learners, different grammar teaching and learning methodology and different classroom activities for use.
