Difference Between Syntax and Grammar

Syntax refers to the rules for arranging words into sentences, such as word order and sentence structure. Grammar is a broader term that refers to the study of word classes, conjugation, functions, and relations within sentences. Specifically, syntax focuses on word order and sentence structure, while grammar encompasses syntax as well as morphology, semantics, phonology, and other linguistic rules.

Syntax implies the set of rules that define the way in which words and phrases are organized, to

make coherent sentences. On the other hand, Grammar refers to the study of word classes, their
conjugation, functions, and relation in a particular sentence. The syntax can be understood as the
set of principles that defines the order of words, clauses, and phrases to form a proper sentence in
a particular language. On the contrary, Grammar implies an abstract system containing the set of
rules governing the basics of a language, such as a form, structure, and order of words.

Difference between Syntax and Grammar –

Syntax

 Syntax refers to a system that indicates how the words can be put together, so as to make
a sentence.
 The syntax is that part of grammar that deals with the order of words and phrases to form
a proper sentence in a particular language.
 It is a system of rules that tell you which word comes prior to and subsequent to another
word in a sentence, such that it makes a complete sense.
 In creative writing, the syntax has a very important role to play, as it can make the write
up more interesting and engaging, as well as it also helps to emphasize a particular point.
 Syntax implies the set of rules that define the way in which words and phrases are
organized, to make coherent sentences.
 The syntax is a part of grammar, indicating the way in which the words are sequenced to
create sentences.
 While syntax tells you how to arrange the words in a sentence, based on the declarative,
interrogative, negative, affirmative, or exclamatory sentence.

Grammar

 Grammar is nothing but a branch of linguistics that is concerned with syntax and
morphology.
 It is a methodical study and elucidation of a particular language. It implies a system, that
comprises a set of structural rules defining how to frame sentences, in a particular
language.
 The rules may be related to syntax, morphology, phonology, and semantics. These rules
are helpful for arranging the words in a systematic manner to make proper sentences.
 In a wider sense, grammar studies word classes, their conjugation, functions, and
relations. Therefore, it also covers accidence, orthography (spelling system), and syntax.
 It refers to the study of word classes, their conjugation, functions, and relation in a
particular sentence.
 It is a branch of linguistics that is concerned with the syntax, morphology, semantics, and
phonology.
 Grammar is all about creating a logical and meaningful sentence. It will tell you how
language works and how words are infected.
