In linguistics, syntax is the study of how words and morphemes combine to form larger units such as phrases and sentences. It covers topics like word order, grammatical relations, hierarchical sentence structure, agreement, the nature of crosslinguistic variation, and the relationship between form and meaning (semantics)
. Syntax in English refers to the arrangement of words and phrases in a specific order, and it includes rules about word order, grammar, and sentence structure. For example, if you change the position of even one word, it's possible to change the meaning of the entire sentence
. In general, syntax is essential to understanding how language works and how we communicate with each other
