syntax is the arrangement of words in a sentence and the study of the rules that govern the formation of a proper sentence.

It is the set of rules, principles, and processes that govern the structure of sentences in a given language, specifically word order and punctuation. The term syntax is also used to refer to the study of such principles and processes.
