E.L.A Grammar

Grammar is often a generic way of referring to any aspect of English that people object to (though grammar doesn't just apply to the English language). So this basically means that grammar is the logical aspect of a sentence, (if a sentence makes sense or not). It requires one to have a common & logical sense. Languages can be confusing at times, so grammar is the logical understanding of a sentence, which is composed of a predicate, a subject (though sometimes more than one subject or predicate), & proper punctuation, as well as other things and such but for now let's move on.

 

Here is an example of good grammar - I am well educated.

 

Here is an example of bad grammar- I is good! educated?

 

As you can see knowing which synonym & antonym is very vital for grammar as well. One also must be used to the English language, since grammar isn't just about writing properly, but saying and or speaking properly (though some of us may have accents). For example, if a man had said to you

 

"You bad?" you probably don't know what he means by that. If someone else had said to you

 

"You don't look so good" you most likely know what he or she means, or at least have more of a clue.

 

Contractions are also quite important for they are shortened versions of 2 words. One example of a contraction is don't. An example of a word that people believe is a contraction but really isn't, is ain't.

Ain't isn't a proper contraction because there are no other words that can build upon this contraction.

Though contraction isn't that much vital when talking to someone, but are quite important when writing.

 

So to summarize grammar is quite vital when being educated, it is the logical aspect of sentences, paragraphs, etc. & without it, none of us would understand what we're saying to each other. Though slang is a different topic and may defy some rules of grammar, but in a sense, is some other people's aspect (idea) of logic, since an idea, aspect, sense of logic may vary.
