So am I reasoning but our reason cannot avoid importance of Grammar. I speak Sindhi Language fluently and write impressively but I don't know its Grammar. So can you and everyone.
I have seen many men who know all about English grammar but cannot speak English fluently and write expressively. And, many men, I have seen who speak English fluently but don't know what its Grammar is.

If I ask a child, "If I drop a book will it fall on earth?"

He will surely reply, "Yes, It will fall on earth, I have experienced it many times."

But if I ask him, "Why does it fall on earth?"

He will remain confused and think why it falls.

But, Da Skeptic can answer it easily, he will say, "The reason it falls is gravity."


Indeed, we can learn a language without memorizing rules of Grammar but we will not be able to answer what rules of grammar are. (As child couldn't answer why book falls on earth but Da-Skeptic did.)

In CSS we have to take both things parallel. If only you understand. I don't say you be Swan or Thomson but you should try. I know you know rules of grammar. Sometimes, we deny saying we don't know.
