Young children (about 18-24 months) produce two-word utterances that have their own structure, though it is different from that of adult speech. Examples: # Daddy gone. # Allgonesticky. Bold indicates stress in speech. Children are able to use one clause utterances that conform to adult grammar by age 4-5. Handling complex sentences properly may have to wait till much later. Many kids have problems with passive constructions until about age 9+. Some people never learn to handle really complex sentences grammatically, either in speech or in writing. (It's not something that most schools in the English-speaking countries bother with, and one way of 'spotting' plagiarized undergraduate (and even MA) assignments is to look for correct grammar.
