As for systemic functional grammar, you could claim that SFG focuses less on individual sentences and more on the structure of language as a whole. It appears to see language as a big but limited structure. The structure provides people with many words or options. From those words or options, people craft sentences to express themselves. SFG is more focused on why people select the combination of words that they do and less focused on how those combinations of words (i.e., sentences) relate to one another.

Grammar is the study of units and their meaning , is the art of productive skills correctly.
The tradional grammar is based on Latin and greek grammar. it is emphasises the rules of smaller units of tex; letter, words, sentence and paragraph and also focuses on written language.
Funtional grammar helps people understand how language work in partical social functions (context of cuture and context of situation) and focuses on the text as a whole (text-types) analyzing.

- Time Frame: A period of time, especially a specified period in which something occurs or is planned to take place.
- Tense: is used to refer to a point in time. This point is either before the moment of speaking, at the same time as the moment of speaking or after the moment of speaking.

- Aspect: refers to the fabric of time, specifically to whether the time is seen as a single block, a continuous flow or a repetitive occurance.

Time frame: this is a non-linguistic concept of when an action or a state is set.  It is non-linguistic because the relationship between time and grammatical form is often unclear with past forms used to speak about the future, future forms appearing in the past and so on.
Tense: this is the name we give to the form the verb takes.  It refers to the form of the verb and the grammatical function of any primary auxiliary verbs involved.
Aspect: this refers to how the user of the language views the event or how the event is experienced.  There are many of these and they are signalled in languages in a bewildering number of ways.

In grammar, the word tense refers to the time period in which the verb of a sentence places an action.
There are two tenses in English: present and past.
For each grammatical tense, there are subcategories called aspects. Aspect refers to the duration of an event within a particular tense. In other words, the aspect of a tense allows us to describe or understand how an event unfolds over time. English has four aspects: simple, progressive, perfect, and perfect progressive. Therefore, the main difference between tense and aspect is that tense indicates the location of an action in time whereas aspect indicates how that particular action is to be viewed with time.

Traditionally, we have three choices: now, past, future.

Tense: This is the name we give to the form the verb takes.  It refers to the form of the verb and the grammatical function of any primary auxiliary verbs involved.  In English it is often averred that there are just two: past tense and present tense.

Aspect: This refers to how the user of the language views the event or how the event is experienced.  There are many of these and they are signalled in languages in a bewildering number of ways.  For the purposes of analysing English verb form, meaning and use, we'll focus on:

perfect: relating two times (past to pre-past, present to pre-present, future to post-future).  An alternative way to see this (explained below) is that perfect aspects set times within other times.

progressive: ongoing

continuous: current

habitual: routine

iterative: repeated

durative: long lasting

prospective: looking forward

Transformational Grammar, developed by Noam Chomsky in the 1950s, is a generative approach to grammar that emphasizes the innate linguistic competence of human beings. This theory proposes that language is generated by a set of rules and principles that are hard-wired into the human brain. Transformational Grammar seeks to explain the structure of sentences by analyzing the underlying deep structure and the various transformations that can be applied to them to derive surface structure. The goal of this approach is to explain how people can generate an infinite number of grammatically correct sentences using a finite set of rules.

On the other hand, Functional Grammar, developed by Simon Dik in the 1970s, is a functional approach to grammar that emphasizes the communicative function of language. This theory proposes that language is a tool for communication, and therefore, grammar should be analyzed in terms of its communicative functions. Functional Grammar seeks to explain the structure of sentences by analyzing the communicative functions of the different parts of the sentence, such as the subject, object, and verb. The goal of this approach is to explain how people use language to communicate with one another in different social contexts.

Functional Grammar is a linguistic theory first proposed in the 1970s by a Dutch linguist named Simon Dik. It was renamed Functional Discourse Grammar in the 1990s, but the theory can go by either name. This theory is called functional because it states that all constituents, whether affixes, words, phrases, or sentences, have semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic functions. Functional grammarians can analyze linguistic utterances as pragmatic, semantic, morphosyntactic, or phonological.

Several linguistic theories are also known as functional grammars, as opposed to formal grammars. The most famous of these is Systemic Functional Grammar, which was first published by British linguist Michael Halliday in 1961. Other functional grammars include Danish Functional Linguistics, lexical functional grammar, and Role and Reference Grammar. These should not be confused with the theory of Functional Grammar as described by Dik while he held the General Linguistics chair at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands from 1969 to 1994.

Functional grammar is a linguistic theory that states all constituents, whether affixes, words, phrases, or sentences, have semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic functions.

According to Dik's Functional Grammar, each constituent has a semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic function. Semantic function refers to the role participants play in the sentence's action, such as agent or recipient. The various perspectives, such as subject or object, are analyzed as the syntactic function. Pragmatic function concerns the meaning of the constituent in reference to its context.

In the grammatical component, the concept is formed into words through four steps. First, the words are constructed on an interpersonal level, taking into account the context, through pragmatics. Second, each word and phrase is checked for meaning at the representational level during the semantic step. On the third level, the morphosyntactic step, the syntax and morphology are taken into account. Lastly, the phonological level considers the sound of a linguistic utterance.

The contextual component is the portion of the utterance which can only be understood in reference to what has already been shared in the conversation or to a shared knowledge of the environment. All pronouns are part of the contextual component because they require knowledge of an earlier antecedent. The last component of Functional Grammar is the output component, in which all the other pieces come together as a linguistic utterance, whether spoken, written, or signed.

Functional grammar is more focused on the communicative aims of language. It's a look at why humans choose the words they do and how those selected words fulfill their communicative function. Conversely, transformational grammar is more focused on specific structures. It examines how particular sentences relate to one another.

Differences between functional grammar and traditional grammar

Differences between functional grammar and traditional grammar 

# data[].attributes.body
Traditional grammar is the collection of prescriptive rules and concepts about the structure of language that is commonly taught in schools. It is prescriptive because it focuses on the distinction between what some people do with language and what they ought to do with it and the concepts treated in traditional grammars include, subject, predicate, object, complement, noun, adjective, determiner, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, pronoun, etc.

The functional grammar is concerned with the way that the different kinds of meaning that contribute to grammatical structure are comprehensively addressed. It is concerned with resources for analysing experience, interaction, and construction of the message.

In other words, Functional grammar focuses on the way language is put together so that meaning is communicated for particular purposes, and looks at a language as a system of meaning, while traditional grammar is concerned with the ways words are organized within sentences and looks at a language as a set of rules.

 Differences between  time frame, tenses, and aspects

Time frame is a period of time during which something has taken or will take place: We're talking about a time frame of five minutes for the president's visit.

Tense refers to a location in time, aspect refers to the "fabric of time", that is single block of time, a continuous flow of time or a repetitive occurance. There are three ways to express aspect in English, namely: simple, progressive and perfect.

Aspects Aspect indicates how an action, state or an event is related to the flow of time. By looking at the aspect of a verb, we can decide whether the action is completed or ongoing. There are four aspects in English grammar They are simple, progressive, perfect and perfect progressive.

Tense and Aspect can be defined as grammatical categories that are closely related.  Therefore, the main difference between tense and aspect is that tense indicates the location of an action in time whereas aspect indicates how that particular action is to be viewed with time.

Transformational grammar seeks to model the computational steps our brains make in order to generate every possible sentence in a language, while Functional grammar seeks to describe the innumerable systems of choice (from phonemic to semantic) that work together at different but connected levels to make meaning with a given utterance.

Consequently, transformational grammar takes into consideration things like mood and tense while developing its theories, but the endgame is to model the mental structure of a grammatical utterance, including the moves and transformations it undergoes during computational brain processes.

Functional grammar, on the other hand, models the nearly instantaneous choices that unfold in time when someone utters something. With each step into the system, each choice further limits future choices until a speaker is left with a possible utterance.

Transformational Grammar (TG) and Functional Grammar (FG) are two different approaches to describing the structure and use of language.

TG is a formal linguistic framework developed by Noam Chomsky in the 1950s and 1960s, which posits that there is an innate "universal grammar" that underlies all human languages. According to TG, the structure of a sentence can be described in terms of a set of underlying "deep structures" that are transformed into surface structures through a series of rules. These rules are called "transformations," and they account for the syntactic and semantic differences between sentences with similar structures.

On the other hand, FG is a functional linguistic framework that focuses on the communicative function of language. FG emphasizes the idea that language is a tool for communication, and that the structure of a sentence reflects its communicative purpose. FG analyzes language in terms of functional categories such as subject, object, and verb, and how they are used to convey meaning. It also examines the way in which language reflects social and cultural contexts and how language use varies depending on the situation.

In summary, while TG is concerned with the formal rules that generate sentences and their underlying structures, FG is concerned with the functional aspects of language use and how language is used to achieve communicative goals.

Transformational grammar deals more with the sentence itself and the foundations of that sentence. It wants to show how sentences can relate to one another. It aims to analyze the ways in which sentences can transect with one another.

Transformational grammar contains terms like “underlying structure,” “surface structure,” and “deep structure.” Look at these two sentences:

Billy ate an apple.The apple was eaten by Billy.

Transformational grammar would identify the underlying structure of those sentences. They’re both united by Billy and the act of eating the apple. Their relative simplicity might lead transformational grammar to point out their surface suture. A deep structure might look like this:

I know Billy. He ate the apple.

As the name “deep structure” suggests, the above set of sentences takes us a little deeper into the world of Billy and why he might have consumed the apple.

As for systemic functional grammar, you could claim that SFG focuses less on individual sentences and more on the structure of language as a whole. It appears to see language as a big but limited structure. The structure provides people with many words or options. From those words or options, people craft sentences to express themselves. SFG is more focused on why people select the combination of words that they do and less focused on how those combinations of words (i.e., sentences) relate to one another.

Functional grammar: focuses on the way language is put together so that meaning is communicated for particular purposes, and looks at a language as a system of meaning. In other words this theory is called functional because it states that all constituents, whether affixes, words, phrases, or sentences, have semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic functions. Functional grammarians can analyze linguistic utterances as pragmatic, semantic, morphosyntactic, or phonological.

Transformational grammar: which is usually generative grammar describes a language with the help of transformational rules. It involves logical reasoning to understand fully the meaning of the selected words. As such transformational grammar goes a step ahead of structural grammar which focuses more on the sentence structures used for communication. Apart from the use of correct sentence structure, transformational grammar analyses the words with reference to its underlying thoughts.

Aspect indicates how an action, state or an event is related to the flow of time. By looking at the aspect of a verb, we can decide whether the action is completed or ongoing. There are four aspects in English grammar. They are simple, progressive, perfect and perfect progressive.

Frame semantics is a theory of linguistic meaning developed by Charles J. Fillmore[1] that extends his earlier case grammar. It relates linguistic semantics to encyclopedic knowledge. The basic idea is that one cannot understand the meaning of a single word without access to all the essential knowledge that relates to that word. For example, one would not be able to understand the word "sell" without knowing anything about the situation of commercial transfer, which also involves, among other things, a seller, a buyer, goods, money, the relation between the money and the goods, the relations between the seller and the goods and the money, the relation between the buyer and the goods and the money and so on.

In Collins COBUILD English Grammar (2017), tense is defined as ‘… a verb form that indicates a particular point in time or period of time’. And in his study of The English Verb, Lewis, (1986:50), describes tense as involving ‘a morphological change in the base form of the verb. A verb form which is made with an auxiliary is not, in this technical meaning, a “tense”.’

Following this understanding, we can see that there are two tenses in English, the ‘present’ and ‘past’ tense; these are the only verbs forms that do not require an auxiliary. We add further meaning and viewpoints to these basic forms through the use of aspect. Aspect allows the speaker to interpret the events being described and express how they view them.
