English grammar and punctuation are how we make ourselves understood in a clearer way. Using proper grammar makes sure that everyone reading a text or listening to you speak understands your meaning. Punctuation helps us distinguish between parts of a sentence, such as a side thought in commas, and tells us when one thought ends and another begins. Without punctuation, how would we know when a question was a question? Grammar and punctuation work together to make everything clearly organized and easily processed by others. Without standard grammar and punctuation, it might feel as if we were all speaking different languages.
