Grammar/The Grammar

Hi,

Let’s say that I’m talking about German or English grammar with someone. If I wanted to tell them that they need to focus on grammar first before they try to enrich their vocabulary, would I just say ‘grammar’ or ‘the grammar’? The same thing with this sentence - “It’s all about grammar/the grammar.”

It’s probably a silly question but I feel like many people only say ‘grammar’ even though they’ve talked about it for a while and in some cases it looks better with the definitive article.
