Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In linguistics, grammar refers to the logical and structural rules that govern the composition of sentences, phrases, and words in any given natural language. The term refers also to the study of such rules, and this field includes morphology and syntax, often complemented by phonetics, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics. Each language has its own distinct grammar. "English grammar" is the set of rules within the English language itself. "An English grammar" is a specific study or analysis of these rules. A reference book describing the grammar of a language is called a "reference grammar" or simply "a grammar". A fully explicit grammar exhaustively describing the grammatical constructions of a language is called a descriptive grammar, as opposed to linguistic prescription, which tries to enforce the governing rules of how a language is to be used. Grammatical frameworks are approaches to constructing grammars. The standard framework of generative grammar is the transformational grammar model developed in various ways by Noam Chomsky and his followers from the 1950s onwards. From Wikipedia under the

He can't be stronger THAN A man so his only way to triumph is to abuse a helpless woman who happens to be his wife. 2. fine - except 'worse than hell' is a bad phrase 3. The force payments WERE used for his vices. It's better to say 'he used the force payments for his vices' 4. Nobody expected HER TO finish college and achieve something. 5. They all thought he WOULD end up as a criminal but he is worse than THAT now; he is a high-profile politician with a very dark secret.
