Document Summary
It will close on august 29th at 11:30pm. A sentence is grammatical if it seems grammatical to a native speaker, at least grammatical to them. Generally these are automatic to a native speaker. This comes naturally to anyone who is fluent/native in that specific language. You do not have to be a specific age either, even a child can. However, sometimes it can be difficult to completely peg down, a sentence might be iffy whether or not it is correct. But, even that will be obvious to a native speaker. Something that may grammatical but it may not be logical for instance, look at the sentence below: It works together by following the arbitrary rules of grammar, but it does not make sense to native speakers who hear or read it. Idiolect: a linguistic variety unique to an individual. Every idiolect is unique and only specific to the particular individual.
