It is important to know what grammar
means. We usually accompany grammar with correctness or errors. However,
knowing about it helps us make a clear sentence. I read an article written by
Michelle Pierce entitled, Three Grammar Rules You Can (And Should) Break and it will surely help us
know grammar better.

Knowing and learning grammar is not enough for someone to be able to effectively use English. There are still errors committed because English grammarians tend to explore new things as years pass by.
ReplyDeleteAs a responsible user of the language, I will try my best to cope up with these new ideas.
Practice and application is the best way to avoid grammatical errors.
ReplyDeleteFor me, the only reason why a writer should break the grammar rules is to express what is on his or her mind and if grammar tends to break that, he or she must break the grammar rules.
ReplyDeleteWe must really study grammar and apply it with our everyday living. Like what Carlo said, we should practice to avoid grammatical errors.
ReplyDeleteSome rules can be bent but one must not abuse them.
ReplyDeleteA good grammar construction through breaking these grammar rules is what the article is all about. It aims to gain clarity in communication. I still consider your post helpful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm often confused to the rules that were being talk about on the link. There are a lot of times, where I really want to start my sentence with "and" or "but"; but I always remember the rules pertaining to the usage of conjunctions, so I hinder myself instead.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kenneth. It's okay to violate some but still, consider if you're just right or over.
ReplyDeleteI thought the post was about the etymology of the word "grammar" but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I am delighted to see a post like this. I think that sometimes rules should adapt to the things that will make the English language clearer.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, it makes me feel rebellious. :)
Rules are rules. They shouldn't be broken. But when it comes to grammar rules.. Well, that is a different topic. I have always wondered why some people set rules and then break it? I can see that "change" is a part of our daily living.
