This question is from the linguistic course:

Speakers of a language know many thing about the language unconciously :

Please can you give me an explanation for every one (system,combining words,rules).

can you give only a hints or short definition about every one.

"system" is defined here. Think, "language system". How is it similar and different from, say, a computer system?

"combining words": speakers combine words to form phrases and sentences. For example, Max + ate + cake. Word order differs across languages. For example, English is an SVO language: subject first, verb second, object third. Prepositions and adjectives come before the nouns they modify. Compare that word order with Japanese: it's an SOV language: verb last.

"rules": the grammar
