What is grammar?
 Grammar is the master lexicon (vocabulary/dictionary) of
any language.
 Linguistics is the study of languages.

 In linguistics and grammar, there are two important


things we study:
 1. Syntax: the structure or word order of a language
 2. Semantics: the meaning of words or combinations of
words
The Structure

syntax or order is:

 Verb (Verb)
 Object (Noun)
Parts of a Sentence: NOUN

 Transitive or Intransitive?
 Transitive verb: an action verb that sends
its action to a noun or pronoun (the direct
object of the sentence)
 Intransitive verb: a verb without a
corresponding direct object
