Grammar and communicative language ability are two necessary components to equip language speakers with. The better the foreign language learner masters the grammar, the more effectively they can use the language for communication. This paper sets out to investigate how communicative grammar can effectively be used in settings. We try to demonstrate the relationship between grammar as a systemic component of language and how it serves communicative purposes in foreign language classes. The findings showed that learners should put the accent on the actual act of communication by appealing to self-discovery learning and activities based on communicative situations to foster communicative grammatical knowledge. The acquisition of this ability can be a device enabling learners for an effective transmission of the intended meanings through grammatical structures. Henceforth, there should be consciousness-raising among foreign language learning about the importance of communicative grammar in the process of learning/ teaching. The correctness and fluency of learning a foreign language in communicative grammar should not be neglected, in the sense that learners not only do they need to speak fluently, but they also need to practice fluency and acquire grammar reaching a balance between the two.
