Define grammar. According to the dictionary, it’s a language’s entire structure and system. In short, it tells a person how something works when talking or writing. So, if that’s the case, why are so many people frightened by the word “grammar?”
In school, you’re taught grammar in English, Spanish or any other language you are trying to learn. In English, it meant a huge mound of rules to learn, and these rules would vary significantly. There was no one size fits all scenario.
It can take a person years to understand grammar and make it work for them. Even more so, if they write for a living.
What Is The Primary Purpose Behind Grammar
So, you may be wondering what the primary purpose behind grammar is. Believe it or not, it’s something very simple but intricate too.
Grammar is a necessity in even the most basic human needs – communication with others.
Businesses must use words that are clear to their target audience – to understand what the company’s service or product is and how it can help them. With the excitement flowing, words will fall onto a page without a second thought.
Grammar is what connects businesses with their readers.
People excited about their business have so much passion when writing about a product or service. They’re so excited that they try explaining everything about a product in a little blurb or article, but this often causes confusion.
While business owners need to be passionate about their product/service, they also need to be clear with the message they are sending. Grammar will help them to do that.
The Importance Of Basic Sentence Structure
The sentence is the most basic sentence structure of written words. There are many kinds of simple and intricate sentences, and it’s best to use simple sentences whenever possible. Simple sentences are easier to understand, and the ideas are clear. The problem people have with writing is that they try putting more than one idea into a sentence.
Think of it this way: you have a bunch of books you’re putting on a less than sturdy bookcase. The amount of weight you’re putting on that shelf will cause it to break and fall. A sentence with more than one idea in it will also fall apart.
Bear in mind that this is just a brief look at grammar. Don’t look at grammar as rules to hinder your writing but to help you connect and communicate with readers. This is what grammar is all about and its importance.
