Grammar governs how words are structured and combined into sentences, while spelling concerns the correct sequence of letters within a single word. A sentence can be spelled perfectly yet still be grammatically incorrect.

Grammar is about how words combine into well-formed sentences, whereas punctuation is the system of marks, such as commas and periods, that clarify structure and meaning in writing. Punctuation is often taught alongside grammar but is a separate system.
