What evidence indicates that young children who are just learning to talk are already learning the grammatical rules of the language?

What will be an ideal response?


Young children make mistakes by applying the grammatical rules in cases where the language has exceptions. For example, a young child might say "the womans comed and goed and doed something.". They would not say that unless they had learned to make a plural by adding "s" and make past tense by adding "ed.".
