The purpose of this paper is to understand how middle school students, know the terminology of English grammar, and to make students understand easily at the school. In traditional grammar, when the object is longer than the objective complement and the form of the sentence becomes awkward, it becomes difficult to understand the sentence. To avoid such difficulties, it is possible to construct a sentence structure that is easy to understand by extraposing a long object to the position behind the objective complement. If the object clause is that-clause or an to-infinitive clause, it must be a correct sentence only when an extraposition must occur. However, in this regard, middle school students are inclined to extrapose if they think that the object is long. In other words, it is necessary for to-infinitive clause to have an extraposition, but a gerund clause is a sentence that does not cause an extraposition. In conclusion, it is necessary to teach correct grammar terms and usage and to utilize them accurately and fluently in the time of transition from the spoken-oriented curriculum to the written-oriented curriculum. It will be studied to treat all examples of what is happening in middle school textbooks and also of the possible extraposition in a corpusal aspect.
