descriptive grammar
Descriptive grammar refers to a set of rules or guidelines about a language that are based on how it is actually used by speakers and writers, rather than prescribed rules stating how it ought to be used. This approach to grammar analyzes and identifies the structures of a language as they are naturally and commonly used, regardless of whether these conform to traditional or formally taught rules. It aims to describe the language in its current state and its evolving changes.
