What is Grammar?

Grammar is the structure and system of a language. It tells us how to arrange words to make meaningful sentences.
Just like a building needs a strong foundation, English needs grammar to make sense.

📌 Example:

  • ❌ She go to school every day.

  • ✅ She goes to school every day.
    The second sentence is correct because it follows grammar rules.

✔ Makes your writing and speech clear
✔ Helps avoid confusion and mistakes
✔ Boosts confidence in exams, interviews, blogging, and communication
✔ Essential for spoken as well as written English
