National Day 3/4

Post by Tracy F »

National Grammar Day is observed across the United States each year on March 4th. The observance encourages the use of correct grammar in both verbal and written language.

#NationalGrammarDay
According to the Global Language Monitor, the estimated number of words in the English language is 1,025,109. There is some controversy over that figure, but it's safe to say it is over a million.

Language is something to celebrate. Some people might suggest that grammar is a set of rules for language, but it is a system for understanding language. Understanding the system and the structure helps us understand each other better and help us learn new languages.


HOW TO OBSERVE national grammar day
-Read a new blog, book, magazine, or newspaper. You might learn a new turn of phrase or word.
-Learn a new word from another language. Not all languages use the same grammar rules. Some languages even have words
that don't exist in other languages.
-Spend time with someone who speaks your first language as a second language. You might learn something new about syntax,
tense, or spelling.

What might be a grammar error in one language is perfectly fine in another. Do you speak two languages or more? What are the unique differences between grammar rules that you've noticed?

Do your best to use proper grammar and use #NationalGrammarDay to post on social media.
