What does “grammar” mean?
grammar
Oh, this is a good one to know!
Grammar is basically the set of rules that tells you how to put words together correctly in a language. Think of it like the "instructions" for building sentences.
So if someone says "She go to school every day," a grammar rule tells you — wait, that's not right, it should be "She goes to school every day." That's grammar doing its job.
You'll hear things like "Your grammar is really good!" — that's a compliment, meaning you write or speak in a very correct, natural way. Or a teacher might say "Let's work on your grammar" when they want you to practice using the right word forms and sentence patterns.
Basically, grammar is the hidden rulebook that helps a language make sense.
