Grammatical Terms

This afternoon, a student in Class 314 asked me a question in class. Then he mentioned the term "relative adverb." The moment I found he confused it with "adverbial clause," I helped him distinguish these two grammar points. Then I told him as long as he had a natural sense about the English language, it's ok even if he didn't know these grammatical terms. He answered that if he was going to be an English tutor, he should have a clear idea about them.


Here comes an interesting question: Is it possible that an EFL learner master this langauge without knowing about any grammar? Is there an English teacher in Taiwan who never mentions any grammtical terms?
