grammar books
Language rule manuals
Grammar books are reference works that explain the rules and structures of a language—how sentences are formed, how verbs conjugate, how punctuation works.
They range from elementary guides for children learning to write to comprehensive references for editors and linguists.
Some are prescriptive, dictating "correct" usage; others describe how people actually speak and write.
