Grammar is the structural foundation of our ability to express
ourselves. The more we are aware of how it works, the more we can
monitor the meaning and effectiveness of the way we and others use
language. It can help foster precision, detect ambiguity, and exploit
the richness of expression available in English. And it can help
everyone--not only teachers of English, but teachers of anything, for
all teaching is ultimately a matter of getting to grips with meaning.
