Studying grammar can help you to write more effectively. It will help you to modify your language and it will help your reader to understand what you are saying. It is easy to look words up in a dictionary or, nowadays, to run your letter through a spellcheck. It is much harder to run a letter through a grammar check. No computer can manipulate the tiny differentials in language that make up correct grammar as effectively as any educated native speaker. It’s worth learning grammar because:

1 It helps you to write correctly and therefore to create a good impression.

2 It helps your reader to understand what you are saying and avoids confusion.

3 It helps you to punctuate your letter correctly, again avoiding confusion and misunderstanding.

4 A good grasp of your own grammar makes it far easier to learn a foreign language.

5 It helps you to understand what other people are trying to say in their letters.
