This is in contrast to the description of a language, which simply describes how that language is used in practice. For example, a descriptive linguist descriptivist ) working in English would describe the word " ain't " neutrally, discussing its usage, distribution and history, but not judging it as good or bad, superior or inferior. A prescriptivist , on the other hand, would rule on whether " ain't " met some criterion of intelligence, rationality, appropriateness, aesthetics, or conformity to a standard dialect . Frequently this standard dialect is associated with the upper class (e.g., Great Britain 's Received Pronunciation solecism or barbarism , prescribing that it not be used.

This complexity should be no surprise since grammar deals with the process of communication. GMAT grammar tests only a small part of standard written English. Grammar can be divided into two parts: Mechanics and Usage. Mechanics concerns punctuation, capitalization, etc. It is not tested on the GMAT nearly as often as is usage. So don't spend too much time worrying whether the comma is in the right place or whether a particular word should be capitalized. Usage concerns how we choose our words and how we express our thoughts: in other words, are the connections between the words in a sentence logically sound, and are they expressed in a way that conforms to standard idiom? This is the part of grammar that the GMAT concentrates on. Six major categories of usage are tested: Pronoun Errors Subject-Verb Agreement Misplaced Modifiers Faulty Parallelism Faulty Verb Tense Faulty Idiom PRONOUN ERRORS
