Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chomsky’s theory of language acquisition argues that human brain structures naturally allow for the capacity to learn and use languages. Chomsky believed that rules for language acquisition are innate (inborn) and strengthen naturally as humans grow and develop.

Detailed explanation-2: -He believed that humans are born with an innate ability to learn languages. According to Chomsky’s theory, the basic structures of language are already encoded in the human brain at birth. This “universal grammar theory” suggests that every language has some of the same laws.

Detailed explanation-3: -Generative grammar is a theory of grammar that holds that human language is shaped by a set of basic principles that are part of the human brain (and even present in the brains of small children). This “universal grammar, ” according to linguists like Chomsky, comes from our innate language faculty.
