English Grammar


GRAMMAR is a set of rules that make up a language.


  Grammar is important in English, since it serves as a guide in  using the language as a means of communication and understanding how words, phrases, sentences and paragraphs should be formed.



      English Grammar started to develop during the 16th century.The book entitled "Pamphlet for Grammar which was written by William Bullokar made a remarkable imprint during the said century.

     During the first half of the 19th century,  900 books talking about  the significance of grammar in the English language were published. As time passed by, Grammar changed as new authors influenced it through writings. Later on, Grammar had been an issue to schools. People began to study grammar. 

      Today's grammar were modernized. It's now far more different from Grammar that was taught to schools centuries ago as more words and expressions were accepted in the English language.

       We were lucky to enjoy the simpler illustrations of English Grammar today as a fruit of numerous people who contributed to its development.
