Summary This article is mainly told us about the differences between prescriptive grammar and prescriptive grammar.

This article highlight on how the linguists describe the grammatical system based on the basis of what people actually say, not what they should say. To a linguist, grammar consists of those constructions judged acceptable by a native speakers institutions. Descriptive grammar refers to structure of a language as it actually used by speakers and writers. This type of grammar is also described what speakers say and when, why, and how they say it. Meanwhile, the prescriptive grammar deals with a set of rules for example the syntax and morphology. Clearly, this prescriptive grammar is what speakers should or should not say. The prescriptive rules make a value of judgment about the correctness of an utterance. On the other hand, descriptive rules accept the patterns a speaker actually uses and try to account for them. Apart from that, this article also told about the reason why do we have the prescriptive grammar while people can accept the descriptive grammar. This is because the rules provide a standard form of language that is accepted by most speaker of that language. Then, a set of standard rules is necessary for students learning English or any other language as their second language and last but not least is there are social reasons for prescriptive rules.
