1. Descriptive Grammar

1.1. Descriptive grammar is the approach to grammar that deals with describing the use of language by native or non-native speakers without referring to the proposed rules for correcting or defending the rules based on those rules.

1.1.1. There are two children ahead, so of course, well ... Hence comes the custom of taking blessed bread. Not because of me because I'm dead.

2. Description

2.1. Descriptive and prescriptive grammar are two approaches to grammar in a language. While descriptive grammar is a subjective study of language use by speakers, descriptive grammar attempts to impose certain rules of normative grammar on speakers to achieve the accepted standard of that language. This is the main difference between descriptive and prescriptive grammar.

3. Prescriptive grammar

3.1. Prescriptive grammar, on the other hand, is an approach to grammar that deals with establishing norms of correct and incorrect use and formulating rules based on these norms that users of the language must follow.
