Summary/Abstract: In teaching German grammar, the traditional focus is cast on grammatical rules, structures and constructions. The current trend in teaching languages interconnects the teaching of grammar with communicative concepts such as the situation of communication or context. The current article shows how traditional grammar rules can be integrated in various communicative situations. The article also makes a connection between mental processes and the use of grammar, when speakers or writers use language in communicative situations. Four essential functions of grammar used in German classes are observed, analyzed and evaluated.
