grammar lessons

Studying sentence structure

Grammar lessons are instruction in the rules and structures of language—how words combine into sentences, how tenses work, how parts of speech function.

The term covers formal classroom teaching and informal correction alike: My grandmother's grammar lessons stayed with me.

Often remembered with a mix of tedium and grudging gratitude.
