Grammar (āĻŦā§āϝāĻžāĻā§°āĻŖ)
1. What is Grammar ? (āĻŦā§āϝāĻžāĻā§°āĻŖ āĻāĻŋ ?)
Grammar is the system of rules that tells us how sentences are constructed in a language, and it helps us speak and write correctly in a proper way.

2. Types of Grammarians (āĻŦā§āϝāĻžāĻā§°āĻŖāĻŦāĻŋāĻĻā§° āĻĒā§ā§°āĻāĻžā§°)
There are two main types of grammarians: prescriptive and descriptive, and both explain grammar in different ways based on rules and usage.

3. Prescriptive Grammar (Prescriptive āĻŦā§āϝāĻžāĻā§°āĻŖ)
Prescriptive grammarians believe that grammar is a fixed set of rules that must be followed, and they focus on correct and incorrect usage; if these rules are broken, the language is considered wrong. For example, “He don’t know” is incorrect, while “He doesn’t know” is correct.
Prescriptive āĻŦā§āϝāĻžāĻā§°āĻŖāĻŦāĻŋāĻĻā§ āĻŦāĻŋāĻļā§āĻŦāĻžāϏ āĻā§°ā§ āϝ⧠āĻŦā§āϝāĻžāĻā§°āĻŖ āĻāĻāĻž āϏā§āĻĨāĻŋā§° āύāĻŋāϝāĻŧāĻŽā§° āϏāĻŽāώā§āĻāĻŋ, āϝāĻžāĻ āĻŽāĻžāύāĻŋ āĻāϞāĻŋāĻŦ āϞāĻžāĻāĻŋāĻŦ, āĻā§°ā§ āϤā§āĻāĻāϞā§āĻā§ āϏāĻ āĻŋāĻ āĻā§°ā§ āĻā§āϞ āĻŦā§āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšāĻžā§°ā§° āĻāĻĒā§°āϤ āĻā§ā§°ā§āϤā§āĻŦ āĻĻāĻŋāϝāĻŧā§; āϝāĻĻāĻŋ āύāĻŋāϝāĻŧāĻŽ āĻāĻāĻž āĻšāϝāĻŧ, āϤā§āύā§āϤ⧠āĻāĻžāώāĻžāĻā§ āĻā§āϞ āĻŦā§āϞāĻŋ āĻāĻŖā§āϝ āĻšāϝāĻŧāĨ¤ āϝā§āύ⧠“He don’t know” āĻā§āϞ, āĻā§°ā§ “He doesn’t know” āϏāĻ āĻŋāĻāĨ¤
4. Descriptive Grammar (Descriptive āĻŦā§āϝāĻžāĻā§°āĻŖ)
Descriptive grammarians study how people actually use language in real life, and they do not judge whether the usage is correct or incorrect but focus on real communication; for example, “He don’t know” may be acceptable in spoken language depending on context.

5. Key Difference (āĻŽā§āĻā§āϝ āĻĒāĻžā§°ā§āĻĨāĻā§āϝ)
The key difference is that prescriptive grammar focuses on rules and correctness, whereas descriptive grammar focuses on actual usage and communication in daily life.

āĻāĻāĻž āĻŦāĻžāĻā§āϝ āĻšā§āĻā§ āĻļāĻŦā§āĻĻā§° āĻāĻāĻž āĻā§āĻ āϝāĻŋāϝāĻŧā§ āϏāĻŽā§āĻĒā§ā§°ā§āĻŖ āĻ

2. Phrase (āĻŦāĻžāĻā§āϝāĻžāĻāĻļ)
A phrase is a group of words that does not contain both a subject and a verb together, so it does not give complete meaning; for example, After the party.
Phrase āĻšā§āĻā§ āĻļāĻŦā§āĻĻā§° āĻāĻāĻž āĻā§āĻ āϝ’āϤ subject āĻā§°ā§ verb āĻĻā§āϝāĻŧā§āĻāĻž āĻāĻā§āϞāĻā§ āύāĻžāĻĨāĻžāĻā§, āϏā§āϝāĻŧā§ āĻ āϏāĻŽā§āĻĒā§ā§°ā§āĻŖ āĻ
ā§°ā§āĻĨ āύā§āĻĻāĻŋāϝāĻŧā§; āϝā§āύ⧠After the partyāĨ¤
3. Clause (āĻāĻĒāĻŦāĻžāĻā§āϝ)

4. Independent Clause (āϏā§āĻŦāϤāύā§āϤā§ā§° āĻāĻĒāĻŦāĻžāĻā§āϝ)
An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence and express a full idea; for example, I love pizza.
Independent clause āĻšā§āĻā§ āĻāύ⧠clause āϝāĻŋ āύāĻŋāĻā§ āύāĻŋāĻā§ āϏāĻŽā§āĻĒā§ā§°ā§āĻŖ āĻŦāĻžāĻā§āϝ āĻšāĻŋāĻāĻžāĻĒā§ āĻĨāĻžāĻāĻŋāĻŦ āĻĒāĻžā§°ā§ āĻā§°ā§ āĻĒā§ā§°ā§āĻŖ āĻ
ā§°ā§āĻĨ āĻĒā§ā§°āĻāĻžāĻļ āĻā§°ā§; āϝā§āύ⧠I love pizzaāĨ¤
5. Dependent Clause (āύāĻŋāϰā§āĻā§°āĻļā§āϞ āĻāĻĒāĻŦāĻžāĻā§āϝ)
A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and needs another clause to complete its meaning; for example, Although I was tired.
Dependent clause āĻāĻā§ āĻ
āĻāϞ⧠āϏāĻŽā§āĻĒā§ā§°ā§āĻŖ āĻŦāĻžāĻā§āϝ āύāĻšāϝāĻŧ āĻā§°ā§ āĻĒā§ā§°ā§āĻŖ āĻ

6. Comma Rule (Comma āĻŦā§āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšāĻžā§°)
A comma is used before a coordinating conjunction (such as and, but, or) when joining two clauses; for example, She was tired, but she kept working.
āĻĻā§āĻāĻž clause āϝā§āĻ āĻā§°āĻŋāĻŦāϞ⧠coordinating conjunction (āϝā§āύ⧠and, but, or) āĻāĻāϤ comma āĻŦā§āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšāĻžā§° āĻā§°āĻž āĻšāϝāĻŧ; āϝā§āύ⧠She was tired, but she kept workingāĨ¤
7. Functions of Phrase (Phraseā§° āĻāĻžāĻŽ)
A phrase can function as a noun, adjective, or adverb in a sentence; for example, in With great care, he painted the wall, the phrase “With great care” acts as an adverb because it explains how the action was performed.
āĻāĻāĻž phrase-āĻ āĻŦāĻžāĻā§āϝāϤ noun, adjective āĻŦāĻž adverb āĻšāĻŋāĻāĻžāĻĒā§ āĻāĻžāĻŽ āĻā§°āĻŋāĻŦ āĻĒāĻžā§°ā§; āϝā§āύ⧠With great care, he painted the wall āĻŦāĻžāĻā§āϝāϤ “With great care” āĻāĻāĻž adverb phrase, āĻāĻžā§°āĻŖ āĻ āĻāĻžāĻŽāĻā§ āĻā§āύā§āĻā§ āĻā§°āĻž āĻšā§āĻā§ āϤāĻžāĻ āĻŦā§āĻāĻžāϝāĻŧāĨ¤
