Syntax refers to the rules that govern sentence structure in language or the behavior of mathematical systems. In linguistics, syntax is the structure of sentences above individual words, usually concerning sentence formation. For most of human history, syntax was considered a subset of grammar. While English syntax typically follows subject-verb-object order, word order can be manipulated for artistic purposes or to speed up or slow down passages. Correct syntax placement of modifiers like phrases is important to avoid ambiguity or errors in meaning.

4. Synt ax - a Subset of Grammar
For most of human history, syntax existed as a subset of grammar.
Many thinkers believed that language was a reflection of thought.
For the most part, English syntax follows the rule of subject, verb,
and object. However, word order can be reversed in certain
situations, such as poetry, in order to achieve a certain artistic
statement. Syntax in prose can be manipulated to either speed up
or slow down a particular passage.

Correct - People who text on their phone while watching a
movie are very annoying.
The phrase "while watching a movie" modifies the noun
