Grammar helps us to communicate more effectively

Proper grammar leads to effective communication. Without it, one may be able to get a meaning across, but there are ample opportunities for miscommunication or misunderstandings to occur. Accuracy of communication, internalization of grammar rules, and excellent first impressions are the key benefits of learning and using proper grammar. If one wishes to be fully understood, one must harness a deep understanding of grammar rules and conventions in speaking and writing. Accuracy is important in communication because without it, one may be misheard or misinterpreted, and issues can arise from the miscommunication.^[1] This is especially true in the workplace, where directions must be given clearly in order for things to run smoothly and for productivity to increase. It is also true of interviews, meetings, or presentations in which one must make a good first impression in order to be taken seriously.^[2] Internalization of grammar rules means that one can become more fluent in the language that they speak. Language and grammar are things which must be learned. We do learn basic communication by listening and repeating from the time we are infants, but to learn fluently we must go to school and study grammar.^[1] Fluency leads to more accuracy, better first impressions, and better communication overall.
