part of speech:	noun
definition 1:	Grammar is a set of rules in a language for forming words and putting words together in a sentence. When you learn the rules of grammar, you can speak and write so that people understand what you say. 语法规则 The grammar of English is very different from the grammar of Japanese.
definition 2:	Grammar is a person's use of his or her language in connection with the rules of that language. 语法 In a sentence like "I have three book," the grammar is not correct. The rules of grammar in English tell us that you need an "s" at the end of "book." It would also be a mistake in grammar to say "Went I the store to" because the order of the words is wrong.
