It unites people. Imagine if everyone had their own language.

We study grammar so that we can be coherent and precise when we express ourselves both in writing and orally.

Eg.

“I’m studying on Wednesday” is not the same as, “I will study on Wednesday”.

Through the study of grammar we can distinguish the first from the latter.

Though both are in the future, the first sentence is in ‘Present Continuous with Future Meaning’ and used to express pre-established plans while the latter, the Simple Future, expresses an intention, or a , amongst other uses, to express willingness.

To sum up, without grammar we would not be able to express what we REALLY want to say and most probably confuse the audience.

Try reading something that was written before spelling and grammar were standardized, like the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer. Standardization makes things easier for the reader.

And people will judge a writer if the writer makes grammatical and spelling mistakes. They will think the writer is not educated or smart or was careless while writing. They may very well stop reading or dismiss whatever ideas the writer was trying to express.

We study “grammar” so that we can communicate with one another in a manner that is understandable. Grammar dictates the way words are used and/or arranged in sentence structure. When individuals all have the same grasp of one language and how it works it enhances their ability to interact effectively in writing and speaking. When there isn’t this “grasp” of how language is used, it creates a certain amount of chaos in communicating. For example – here’s a simple error in modifying a noun. Would you like a hot cup of coffee? or is it – Would you like a cup of hot coffee? I’d think you’d prefer hot coffee over a hot cup.

To learn how to effectively communicate by using the written language, and improve your speaking abilities.

1. Learn how to form, and construct a proper sentence.

2. Use proper spelling, punctuation, and capitalization.

3. Improve ones speech, and writing by using a richer vocabulary, root words, and literature.

Why do you use a knife and fork to eat? You could get food into your mouth without them…. but how would you look??? Imagine how you would look trying to eat soup. Same thing for grammar. When you use poor grammar, people can understand you…. but do you realize how horrible you sound? Just as good eating habits reflect a refined person, so does correct grammar when he or she speaks.

So we can make ourselves understood, and may understand others better. So we don’t sound ignorant. Improper use of language can totally change a message’s meaning. AND LEARN TO SPELL AND PUNCTUATE WHILE YOU’RE AT IT.

To teach us how to communicate correctly and gauge our level of intelligence. If you’re applying for a job or college, or simply trying to find a mate, it helps.

To communicate with others.

Maybe for the same reason we study spelling.

Punctuate,no “r” in the word…..
