grammatical rule
Noun: A grammatical rule is a linguistic rule that governs the structure and formation of sentences and phrases in a language. It dictates the correct arrangement of words and the use of grammatical features like tense, agreement, and word order to produce meaningful and syntactically correct utterances.
