This article provides an in-depth analysis of grammatical differences
among four major varieties of English: British, American, Australian, and Indian
English. Utilizing a qualitative comparative research methodology, it draws upon
prominent linguistic corpora and academic sources to explore variations in verb tense
usage, modal verbs, prepositional structures, auxiliary usage, article deployment, and
question formation. The study further discusses the socio-cultural and historical factors
that have contributed to the divergence of these varieties, emphasizing the need for
inclusive pedagogical approaches in English language education. By understanding
these regional grammatical norms, learners and educators can better navigate and
respect linguistic diversity in global communication. This research contributes to the
broader discussion on World Englishes, fostering awareness and flexibility in academic
and professional settings.
