Is Grammar Important?

By Prasita Elfanda / Grade 9 SMPN 4

Some people think that grammar is really important, but according to me, grammar is not really that important. Why? Because it doesn't really affect my life, for example, when we talk to someone, they will understand what we're saying even if we don't use grammar correctly.

But we have to know the right situation if we want to speak using the "slang" language. We can use slang language to our friend, or someone younger than us.

I think we only learn grammar to pass the English tests at our school. But it's good if we learn grammar too. It's good to know everything, it's up to you whether you want to use and apply it or not. It's your choice.
