Modern English Grammar Relyes Mostly on Syntax

Grammar is the study of suffixes and prefixes in a sentence. In Latin grammar, endings were used to indicate grammatical information. Modern linguists use the term morphology to describe how words can vary during speech. When English abandoned many inflectional endings it had to come up with a new way to convey that information. So they adopted an approach of conveying that information with a fixed word order. The ordering of words in a sentence is called syntax. modern English grammar relies heavily on syntactically based word order.
