The Role of English Grammar in Developing Writing Skills: A Theoretical Perspective

Mastery of English grammar plays a pivotal role in the development of effective writing skills. This paper provides a theoretical exploration of how grammatical competence influences written communication, focusing on its impact on clarity, coherence, precision, and stylistic expression. Drawing from linguistic theories, pedagogical frameworks, and scholarly insights, the study emphasizes grammar as not merely a set of prescriptive rules but as a foundational element that shapes a writer's ability to construct meaning. It critically examines the interplay between grammar instruction and writing proficiency, highlighting the cognitive and communicative dimensions of writing. Furthermore, the paper investigates how an understanding of grammatical structures enhances syntactic variety and textual cohesion, thus empowering learners to express complex ideas more effectively.
