grammar! grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. whenever you use words to express yourself, youre using grammar. you do this all the time without even thinking. so why think about it?

how would you agree on what others words mean? people with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages. communicating is similar to playing cards. to make sense, we have to play the same game, by the same rules. what are the rules for playing the game of english? you already know most of them without having to open a book.59. grammarphobes refer to people who _. a. consider grammar to be boring b. are worried about grammar homework c. mind grammar too much in writing d. are afraid of making grammar mistakes60. the underlined word “assembling” in paragraph 6 may mean _. a. directing b. remembering c. bringing together d. looking for61. what does playing cards have in common with communicating?
