This tag is for questions about whether something obeys the rules of grammar in English. The question must INCLUDE THE SPECIFIC GRAMMATICAL CONCERN.
If your question is about grammar itself, please use the "grammar" tag.
Use this tag for questions that ask whether some particular usage of a word, phrase or sentence is grammatical (correct, right, or proper) or ungrammatical (incorrect, wrong, erroneous, or a mistake). This tag encompasses questions about where the boundary lies between grammatical and ungrammatical forms.
