The article speaks about how grammar can be looked at from many different angles. How grammar has been viewed and changed over the years and how it has been taught all over the place is discussed in this writing.
Although many people may struggle with grammar, they do have the foundation of being able to perfect it by using what they already know. The way they use grammar in their own speech can be worked on to learn the fundamental correctness of grammar.
Grammar instruction has been fading according to this article, as schools and teachers are starting to accept the common English of their students to be correct, although they may be breaking many rules in grammar usage. Grammar is being taught less and less as schools focus on perfecting students in other areas and subjects.
