syntax : is the structure of a sentence
for example ,when i say"the syntax is right",it means that the sentence is composed of
noun, verb,objective,subjective
and all are used correctly .
if i write: i go to school by bus.
it's right syntax
all sentence's compontent are used in their right place
but if i said it like this:
go i to school by bus
it's a wrong syntax
coz u used verb before the subjective which is a wrong structure.
Note: it's also commonly used in programming and writing code
as programmers should sheck the code syntax as the wrong one can cause errors during the run of the programm

Simply put, syntax is the order of words in a sentence.
If someone says that you need to fix your syntax, it means you need to change the order of the words so that they are placed the way they'd be when a native speaker says them.

Hello Safaa
Syntax, put simply, is the grammatical arrangement of each element of a sentence. It's main concern is ensuring the coherence of your subject, verb and object, as well as the relationships that tie them together. Involving a logical sequence, it's the framework from which you build sentences correctly.
Language Without Syntax
Each word we use in our language has a meaning. A combination of words is a sentence. When we string words together to form a sentence, the goal is for the complete statement to relay a specific message. How these words are arranged and presented is usually dictated by syntax. The reader, who looks at these arranged words, uses syntax to determine what it means as well.
Without the structure of a syntax, there is no point in putting words together to form a sentence - they would not make any sense anyway.
