Grammar is the rule that says how words changed to show different meanings and they are combined into sentences. This means that grammar is the regulation of forming a different meaning of words, which is used to construct a sentence in writing13. Content is naturally understood as abstracted from the relevance of the words to the parts of speech and concrete lexical meaning14.
Mechanism as a part of grammar, this perceptual acquisition is informed by the child's actual grammar, together with the linguistic and extra-linguistic information-processing mechanisms through which the representation of that grammar can be constructed16. The organization of the message in such a way as to enable coherent representation and interaction represents a third (the 'textual' metafunction), and this is given place in a functional grammar. 17. The writing score should be assessed using a writing rubric to assess the quality of each writing component.
One of the rubrics of writing is expressed by J.B. Heaton which is illustrated in the table below:18. 16 Jeffrey Lidz and Annie Gagliardi, "How Nature Meets Nurture: Universal Grammar and Statistical Learning", Annual Review of Linguistics 1, No.

According to Kartini Kartono, paradigm is a concept used by someone or a group of people to research an event according to the paradigm so that someone or a group of people can research that indication.19. Hypothesis is a temporary answer to research problems that must be investigated empirically.20 Hypothesis, on the other hand, are predictions the researcher has about the relationship between variables.21. Alternative hypothesis, the investigator makes a prediction about the expected outcome for the study population.
Based on the above theoretical framework and paradigm, the writer formulates the hypothesis as follows: alternative hypothesis (Ha); There is a positive and significant relationship between vocabulary mastery and writing ability among tenth grade students of Muhammadiyah 1 Metro Senior High School.
