      Introduction

      Grammars can prescribe, describe, or analyze the historical evolutions of the language

      After all, what is grammar?

      Grammar's main function is to regulate language and establish patterns of writing and speaking for speakers of a language. Thanks to Grammar, the language can be analyzed and preserved, presenting units and structures that allow the good use of the Portuguese language.

      Good grammar must be able to extrapolate the reductionist view that makes language a set of rules prescribed by scholars of the linguistic system and must be able not only to describe the language, but also preserve it and, above all, be useful to the speakers.

      As it is a complex system, subject to different conceptions, Grammar presents different approaches, being divided, then, into different types:

      The main aspects of normative grammar are phonology, morphology, and syntax.

      Phonology: a study of phonemes, letters, and points of articulation. It is the branch of linguistics that studies the sound system of a language, from the point of view of its function in the system of linguistic communication. This is an area very related to phonetics, but the two have different focuses of study.

      we can divide Portuguese phonology into the following aspects Phonetics, Accentuation, Orthoepy, Orthography, prosody, and Punctuation marks

      Morphology:

      Morphology is the study of the structure, formation and classification of words. Studying Morphology means studying, in isolation, the classes of words; unlike Syntax, which deals with the study of the functions of words in a sentence.

      Syntax:

      The arrangement of words in sentences, clauses, and phrases, and the study of the formation of sentences and the relationship of their component parts.

      Agreement:

      is the correspondence of a verb with its subject in person and number, and of a pronoun with its antecedent in person, number, and gender. Another term for grammatical agreement is concord.

      It is divided into two main parts that you must know, Phonetics and Orthography

      Phonetics

      Phonetics is the study of human sounds we can divide it into the following aspects
