WHAT IS GRAMMAR?

Grammar is a set of language rules for how words are used in sentences and
change in different situations.



WHY IS GRAMMAR IMPORTANT IN WRITING?

Like any set of rules, grammar provides structure and standards, in this case,
for writing. Grammar allows you to combine individual words to create different
meanings and communicate effectively. Your writing is clearer and easier to
understand when you apply the rules of grammar.



WHAT ARE THE BASIC RULES OF GRAMMAR?

There are a few grammar rules you should always consider, such as: all sentences
need a subject and a verb, adjectives go directly before the noun they describe
or after if separated by a verb, and a comma connects two ideas. When you grasp
the fundamentals, you can avoid common mistakes.



WHAT ARE SOME COMMON GRAMMAR MISTAKES IN ENGLISH?

With thousands of grammar rules in the English language, it can be hard not to
miss one. Some common grammar slip-ups are incorrect subject-verb agreement,
fragmented sentences, missing commas, apostrophe misuse, misplaced modifiers,
and incorrect word usage. Thanks to Grammarly's online grammar checker, you can
