The English grammar of a language helps people write, read and speak that language correctly.

According to rules, English Grammar is divided into five parts:

1. Orthography
2. Etymology
3. Syntax
4. Punctuation
5. Prosody

What is orthography?

Orthography is a system of linguistics that describes how a language is expressed in writing through the correct use of spelling, spelling, and punctuation.

What is Etymology?

Etymology is the study of the origin and evolution of words, including their constituent units of sound and meaning, across time. In the 21st century a subfield within linguistics, etymology has become a more rigorously scientific study. Most directly tied to historical linguistics, philology, and semiotics, it additionally draws upon comparative semantics, morphology, pragmatics, and phonetics in order to attempt a comprehensive and chronological catalogue of all meanings and changes that a word carries throughout its history. The origin of any particular word is also known as its etymology.

What is Syntax?

Syntax in linguistics refers to the arrangement of words and phrases. Syntax covers things like word order and grammar rules, such as subject-verb agreement or the correct placement of direct and indirect objects.

What is Punctuation?

Punctuation is a set of symbols that separates and gives meaning to words. It tells readers where to pause, what words are quotations, and more.

What is Prosody?

Prosody in English grammar is the study of how rhythm, stress, and intonation are used to convey meaning, emotion, and emphasis in spoken language.
