Having a good grasp of grammar is important if you want to be able to communicate your thoughts, opinions, and more in a way that others can understand. Proper grammar may seem subjective and it may also look as though it varies from culture to culture but in general, the rules of grammar are meant to keep us communicating effectively with one another. Much of our lives --- and TV sitcom characters' --- seem to be thrown into upheaval due to miscommunication with other people. This is often the result of us not being able to convey our thoughts and feelings in a way that others can understand.
Without proper grammar and an adequate vocabulary, our thoughts and opinions would get lost in a sea of garbled jargon. This grammar quiz may seem simple but you would be surprised how many people are unable to get a perfect score or even pass it at all.
