Syntax deals with the structure, classification and combinability
of sentences.
Morphology and syntax are both parts of grammar. Morphology is a part of grammar that treats meaning and use of classes of words -parts of speech, as they are traditionally referred to. Syntax is another subdivision of grammar that deals with the structure of speech utterances that makes a sentence or a part of a sentence.

The term grammar is used to denote:
1) the objective laws governing the use of the word classes,
their forms and their syntactic structures based upon their objective
content;
2) the laws of a language as they are understood by a linguist or
a group of linguists.
In other words, grammar (Wikepedia Internet Source) is the study of rules governing the use of language. The set of rules governing a particular language is also called the grammar of the language; thus, each language can be said to have its own distinct grammar. Grammar is a part of the general study of language called linguistics. The subfields of modern grammar are phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Traditional grammars include only morphology and syntax.
There can also be differentiated several types of grammar. Thus, we may speak of a practical grammar and a theoretical grammar. A practical grammar is the system of rules explaining the meaning and use of words, word forms, and syntactic structures in a way as understood by its author or authors. A theoretical grammar treats the existing points of view on the content and use of words, word forms, syntactic structures and gives attempts to establish (if necessary) new ones.
2. Word as a basic language unit. The structure of words
One of the main properties of a word is its double nature. It is material because it can be heard or seen, and it is immaterial or ideal as far as its meaning is concerned. Therefore, the material aspects of the word (written and oral) will be regarded as its forms, and its meanings (ideal or immaterial aspects) as its content. When defining the word as "the smallest naming unit" the reference was made primarily to its content, whereas in pointing out the most characteristic features of words we deal chiefly with the form.
The word books can be broken up in two parts: book- and -s. The content of the first part can be rendered as "a written work in a form of a set of printed pages fastened together inside a cover, as a thing to be read" and the meaning of the second part is "plurality". So,

each of the two parts of the word books has both form and content. Such meaningful parts of a word are called morphemes. If we break up the word in some other way, e.g. boo-ks, the resulting parts will not be morphemes, since they have no meanings. The morphemes book-and -s differ essentially:

1. 
   In their relations to reality and thought. Book- is directly associated with some object of reality, even if it does not name it as (he word book does (compare bookish). The morpheme -s is connected with the world of reality only indirectly, through the morpheme it is linked with. In combination with the morpheme book- it means "more than one book". Together with the morpheme table- it refers to "more than one table". But alone it does not remind us of the notion "more than one" in the same way as, for instance, the morpheme plural-doe?,.
   
2. 
   In their relations to the word which they are part of. Book- is more independent than -s. Book- makes a word book with a zero morpheme, with the meaning of "singular number", added, whereas -s cannot make a word with a zero morpheme. It always depends on some other morpheme.
   
3. 
   In their relations to similar morphemes in other words. The meaning of -s is always relative. In the word boob it denotes "plurality", because books is opposed to book with the zero morpheme of "singularity". In the word news -s has no plural meaning because there is no "singular" opposite to news. Compare other examples, the morpheme -s shows the meaning of "present tense" in relation to the morpheme -ed in wanted, but at the same time it shows the meaning of I he "third person, singular" in relation to the zero morpheme of want. Now we cannot say that book- has one meaning when compared with chair- and another when compared with table-.
   

Summing up, we can state that, the meanings of the morphemes ,v, -ed, being relative, dependent and only indirectly reflecting reality, are grammatical meanings of grammatical morphemes.
Morphemes of the book- type and their meanings are called lexical.
It is a common phenomenon in English that the function of a grammatical morpheme is fulfilled by an apparent word standing separately. The lexical meanings of the words invite, invited and the
