Metaphor on Grammar
Grammar is like the icing on the cake. Literally it means 'the second great thing happens in addition to the first'. The cake is the basic foundation of language which includes all the skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) plus vocabulary. You can have a big and tall cake but if the icing is done untidily, it won't look good. The icing gives the cake its real value. It makes the cake look delicious, even the tiniest cupcake.
I'm the chef who can teach my students how to make a good icing, the colours they can choose and introduce them to other toppings (cherry, candies, sugar etc.) However, it's their responsibilities to decorate their own cake - whether they can be a good writer or speaker.
They can always ask for my advice and I'll correct them on their techniques. We have the same goal: to be able to create a masterpiece one day.
