What is grammar?
Some people love it; some others hate it. Yeah! That is grammar. But do we really know what it is? Well, grammar is the study of words and the ways words work together. It is the guideline that leads us through the paved highway of oral and written communication. We use it daily, in a conscious or unconscious way. Grammar, therefore, is pervasive.
The Sentence:
What is a sentence? How to identify it? It must have or include the following characteristics:
1.- Starts with a capital letter.
2.- Ends wih a period, question mark, or exclamatio point.
3.- Contains one or more words.
4.- Contains a subject and a predicate, either expressed or clearly understood.
5.- Makes a statement, asks a question, expresses a command or request, or indicates a strong feeling or emotion.
