Detailed explanation-1: -Q: What is Chomsky ‘s Hypothesis? Chomsky’s Hypothesis also called the Innateness Hypothesis, postulates that children are innately born with a sense of language and grammar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Learners acquire grammatical structures in a natural order, but conscious language rules are not developed until later.
