- 7. DEFINITION OF GRAMMAR Grammar is a set of rules for using a language. It tells us how to put words together to make sentences. Grammar includes the order of words in a sentence. It also shows how words change to show different meanings. Using grammar helps us communicate clearly and correctly.
- 8. EXAMPLES OF HOW GRAMMAR CAN CHANGE MEANING "Let's eat, Grandma!" vs. "Let's eat Grandma!" The first sentence invites Grandma to eat; the second suggests eating Grandma. "She is cooking, her favorite hobby." vs. "She is cooking her favorite hobby." The first sentence says she enjoys cooking; the second oddly suggests she’s cooking her hobby. "I saw the man with a telescope." vs. "I saw the man, with a telescope." The first means you used a telescope to see the man; the second means the man had a telescope.
