Why Grammar? Christian Worldview Many of us that attended government school were not taught that prefixes or word beginnings will increase our vocabulary by changing the definition of a word to form a new word. Yet, not only does grammar teach us about the importance of prefixes, but there is a Christian worldview behind grammar that points us to our Lord.
