English grammar has rules, but it's flexible in many ways. In formal writing or professional settings, adherence to grammar rules is crucial for clarity and professionalism. However, in informal speech or creative writing, there's more flexibility. While good grammar enhances communication, native speakers often bend rules without losing meaning or clarity in everyday conversation. Understanding the context helps determine how strictly grammar should be followed. read less

English grammar has general rules, but its strictness can vary depending on the context and the level of formality. In formal writing, such as academic papers, professional documents, or official communication, adhering to grammar rules is more crucial. Mistakes in such contexts might affect clarity, credibility, and the overall impact of the communication. However, even in formal settings, allowances can sometimes be made for stylistic choices or specific conventions. Conversely, in casual spoken language or informal writing, such as social media posts, texting, or casual conversations, grammar rules might be more relaxed. People often use colloquial expressions, slang, or shortcuts that deviate from formal grammar rules while still conveying the intended message effectively. While there are certain grammar norms and standards, the strictness of adherence to these rules can be influenced by factors like the audience, purpose, and context of communication. However, maintaining good grammar is generally recommended as it ensures clarity and precision in communication. read less

English grammar can be quite complex, but it also has a fair amount of flexibility. While there are many rules to follow, there are also numerous exceptions and variations. In informal spoken English, people often use grammar that is more relaxed compared to formal written English.

Unnessary grammar create lot of fear in the mind of learners. Most of Trainer throw technical grammatical jargon but unfortunately it's of no use. Instead of teaching functionality of grammar most of them are still landing in same boring stuff which of no use.

This rule has been drilled into grade schoolers’ heads: “Never begin a sentence withand,but, oror.” It turns out there’s no rule against doing so. According toOxford Dictionary Myth Debunkers, “The argument against using a preposition to introduce a sentence is that such a sentence expresses an incomplete thought (or ‘fragment’) and is therefore incorrect.” But if it has a subject and predicate (as in “And then I went home.”) it’s a sentence. If it doesn’t (“and then home”) it’s not. read less
