Grammar is the theory of a language. Every language has its own grammar. The knowledge of grammar is important because acceptability and intelligibility, both in speech and in writing depends on the basic notions and norms of grammar. Grammar deals with the functions of words in a sentence. It is concerned with the general rules of syntax or sentence construction i.e. the order of words, agreement of the subject and the verb, sequence of tenses etc.
