The article explores how grammar and discourse are connected. It suggests that grammar is like a set of rules for language, while discourse is the actual flow of conversation. The structure of sentences is influenced by how we communicate, and certain parts of sentences help connect grammar to conversation. The way sentences are built is based on different layers, and all these layers work together at the same time. The article also talks about how language flows smoothly in conversation, with a focus on common phrases and how we put words together.
