English grammar
Sentence structure system
English grammar is the system of rules governing how words combine into sentences in the English language.
It covers word order, verb tenses, agreement between subjects and verbs, pronoun usage, and countless other conventions.
Native speakers absorb most grammar intuitively; formal study typically focuses on points where usage varies or errors are common.
