Rules and principles for speaking and writing a language are outlined in grammar. According to an erudite, grammar is the study of how words are constructed and how they are used in the building of sentences and phrases (morphology) (syntax). Even if English isn’t our father’s native tongue, we must study it because it is the official language of the United States (approved and authorized).
Despite its origins in England, the English language has spread throughout the British Isles, the Commonwealth of Nations, North America, and other regions of the world. Nigeria was colonized by Britain, and as a result, English is the official language. Certain privileges are yours as an English speaker. Additionally, you get some undeniable benefits, such as:
Your peers will regard you as an authority figure.
It is possible to meet some of their conditions and defend yourself when you find yourself in a white country such as the United Kingdom or the United States.
You’ll be seen as a well-educated, well-read, and erudite individual.
You deserve to be recognized and revered.
Because of this, if you want your children to be fluent in English, you should ensure that their educational background is extensive.
You will make a grave error in judgment if you ridicule someone for a grammatical gaffe. An example of a blunder is making a sloppy or dumb error. A grammatical gaffe is an error in adherence to a language’s set of rules and principles.
If someone makes a heart-wrenching blunder in your , don’t laugh at him or her; the best and wisest thing to do is correct his or her just-made error. We, of course, don’t speak English, therefore we shouldn’t be held responsible for making mistakes! In the following list, you will find the most common grammatical mistakes humans make.
