ABSTRACT
This paper examines the Noun Phrases (NP‟s), Verb Phrases (VP‟s) and some simple sentences within Edo constructions in comparism to their structures in English language through a syntactic contractive analysis of the two languages. This study aimed at helping the Edo second language (L2) speaker overcome the problems of transfer from his (first language or mother tongue) L1 and to become more competent in the use of English structures. The study concludes that language teachers need to draw students' attention to the differences and spend more time teaching students the correct usage so that students can become more proficient in using the two languages.
