Children acquire their language through the process of language development The children's linguistic knowledge develops by stages. At first they may be able to produce sounds only. Then, they develop their ability of producing words and sentences until they master a fully formed grammar. They produce sentences of increasing length and complexity per time as they mature. In this qualitative descriptive study, the writer would like to describe the elementary transformations of the Indonesian sentences made by the children of four, five, and six years old. Furthermore, the writer also would like to describe the differences of the elementary transformations. As a pure linguistic study, it is syntactic approach which is used in this study. In further case, it deals with Transformational Generative Grammar as a part of Syntax.
