What is the difference between grammar and vocabulary?

Question

English

Answer 1

Each of the words in this sentence represent a sample of your total vocabulary.

To be fair, these words are arranged according to the norms of grammar associated with the English language. Now here is what the same words might look like in the absence of such grammar:

words of total each in your represent of a the vocabulary sentence this sample

Here is what they might look like were you to relax the strict subject-verb-object form of English in favor of the more flexible Spanish form:

A sample of your total vocabulary represent each of the words in this sentence.

Answer 2

Grammer is using like commas, periods, etc. The structuring of a sentence. Then Vocabulary is the words actually used in the sentence. That's why when they give you a spelling test it's on single words.

The use of punctuation is actually governed by orthographical rules. - --Mariana--, May 8, 2010

Answer 3

Vocabulary is the easy part for our brains, it's just reading, storing. Grammar is the part where we actually have to do some thinking and put the vocabulary together

Answer 4

Grammar is the set of structural rules that govern the composition of sentences, phrases, and words. For example, how to conjugate verbs and put them into sentences.

Vocabulary is the set of words that are familiar within a language. For example, a list of parts of the body, hair, eyes, lips, teeth, is vocabulary.
