1 grammar (noun): the structure and system of a language, or of
languages in general, usually considered to consist of syntax and morphology. Grammar is the system of a language. People sometimes describe grammar as the "rules" of a language; but in fact no language has rules*. If we use the word "rules", we suggest that somebody created the rules first and then spoke the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that. Languages started by people making sounds which evolved into words, phrases and sentences. No commonly-spoken language is fixed. All languages change over time. What we call "grammar" is simply a reflection of a language at a particular time. 2Do we need to study grammar to learn a language? The short answer is "no". Very many people in the world speak their own, native language without having studied its grammar. Children start to speak before they even know the word "grammar". But if you are serious about learning a foreign language, the long answer is "yes, grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly and more efficiently." It's important to think of grammar as something that can help you, like a friend. When you understand the grammar (or system) of a language, you can understand many things yourself, without having to ask a teacher or look in a book. So think of grammar as something good, something positive, something that you can use to find your way - like a signpost or a map.
Reference books, dictionaries, digital sources are usually say something
like
The systematic study and description of a language.
The whole system and structure of a language or of languages
in general, usually taken as consisting of syntax and morphology (including inflections) and sometimes also phonology and semantics.
Grammar is the structural foundation of our ability to express
ourselves.
Grammar is the system of a language. People sometimes
describe grammar as the rules of a language. Most of the people hate grammar and think it is the most boring part of learning a new language. However, we cannot run away from it because grammar constitutes the rules and framework, changing the form of words and joining them into sentences. If there are no rules, or if everybody follows their own rules, it creates problems in communication for everyone. So we can finalize grammar is an important factor to learn a new language.
