Language comes along before grammar. A child picks up language by ear, and on going to school is amazed and horrified to discover this language has grammar. Lots of people in the world did not know they had grammar until some anthropologist told them, having discovered the rules of their so-called primitive languages.
Even the greatest neurologists don’t know how the brain works and they are the first to admit it. They don’t know how we manage to be conscious, how we make decisions; we just do it, in the same way we move our fingers without knowing any physiology.
