This document provides an introduction to grammar, describing the differences between formal and informal grammar. Formal grammar teaches rules first through deductive reasoning, while informal grammar uses inductive reasoning by showing examples and then deriving rules. Formal grammar is also known as prescriptive or traditional grammar, focusing on word-based and sentence-based rules. Informal grammar is descriptive or functional grammar that emphasizes examples over rules. The next video in the series will cover word formation.
