Grammar is the study of rules governing the use of language. The set of rules governing a particular language is also called the grammar of the language; thus, each language can be said to have its own distinct grammar. Grammar is part of the general study of language called linguistics.
The subfields of modern grammar are phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Traditional grammars include only morphology and syntax.
The eight parts of speech are nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. A easy mnemonic to remember is "IVAN CAPP".
- I — Interjection
- V — Verb
- A — Adjective
- N — Noun
- C — Conjunction
- A — Adverb
- P — Pronouns
- P — Preposition
