The purpose of the article is to study the potential of the inductive approach in primary grammar, the stages of application of this approach and the development of its practical implementation. The following methods were used for the theoretical processing of the material: critical analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature and different points of view on the problem under study, study and generalisation of the best educational experien ce of using the inductive approach in teaching grammar. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the detailed description of the stages of implementation of the inductive approach and the description of a fragment of a set of exercises for the formation of grammatical competence using the inductive approach, which can be used in general secondary education institutions. The research analyses the key advantages and potential difficulties of the inductive approach. It is noted that induction promotes the de velopment of students' autonomy, their research activities and improves the quality of long - term memorisation of grammatical rules. At the same time, the use of the inductive approach in teaching grammar requires time, high teacher qualification and may be less effective for beginners and in explaining complex grammatical phenomena. This suggests the need for a flexible combination of inductive and deductive elements depending on the learning objectives and learners' characteristics of the students. The art icle outlines in detail a step - by - step model of developing foreign language grammar skills based on the inductive approach. Four key stages are identified: Noticing, comprehension and formulation of grammatical rules (Rule Formation), training and automati on (Automation), and application in speech (Transfer). The article presents a fragment of a set of exercises for the development of grammatical competence using the inductive approach. The authors conclude that the inductive approach is a promising strateg y in teaching foreign language grammar to high school students, which can ensure not only students' literacy and grammatical correctness of their speech, but also the development of key analytical skills and communication skills.References
