-What is grammar?

There are many complicated and unrealistic definitions of 'grammar' available in the market by many different authors. But we will provide you with a very simple and workable definition of the word, 'grammar'.

-Grammar is an art of putting the right words in the right places.

How?

Let's understand this simple definition through an easy example. Consider the following sentence:

drivinng Maria is to collage...

What do you notice?

In the above sentence we notice two things:

I) Some words like 'driving' and 'college' are incorrectly spelled as 'drivinng' and 'collage', which means they are not in the right shape.

II) There is a general way of constructing a sentence properly. Grammatically it is:

Subject + helping Verb + main Verb + Object.

When we consider the sentence above, we come to know that the words are not put into the right places. Therefore we need to put them into the right places grammatically:

Subject = Maria

Helping Verb = is

Main Verb = driving

Object = College.

So the grammatically correct sentence will be:

Maria is driving to college.

That's why we say------'Grammar is an art of putting the right words in the right places.
