Many students face problems when it comes to learning how to spell certain English words. The reason for this could be because of different spellings or pronunciations in other languages. One of the often occurring spelling mistakes that students make is the erroneous usage of “grammar/grammer.” In this guide, we will determine the correct spelling of this word, together with several example sentences, and answer the most frequently asked questions.

The word “grammar” functions as a noun and is spelt with two A’s. It encompasses a set of methods and rules about a language. “Grammar” originates from the Greek “grammatikē,” which translates to “art of letter,” and was used to describe the study and the rules of language.
