GRAMMAR DEFINITION:

It is the set of 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 (words) and syntax (phrases and sentences), often complemented by phonetics and phonology (sounds), semantics (meaning), and pragmatics (the ways in which contexts contribute to meaning). They are always interacting at different stages and functions or purposes. In addition, each language has its own distinct grammar.

Grammar

Grammar is defined as the form in which the language is manipulated and combined to form units of meaning. For example, in English in the present simple the verb 'to be' has two forms: is for the singular and are for the plural.
