A grammar should be able to both prescribe all acceptable utterances in the language and reject all unacceptable utterances. This includes describing the rules for word order, tense, subject-verb agreement, and other aspects of the language. A grammar that only prescribes acceptable utterances may be incomplete or inaccurate, while a grammar that only rejects unacceptable utterances does not provide clear guidance for producing correct sentences. Additionally, a good grammar can also help regularize a language by establishing consistent patterns for usage.
