    as precise information as possible

    Ist der Satz richtig?

    Furthermore it shows that language and with it grammar, are tools that can be played with and that help us convey as precise chunks of information as possible to the recipient.

    That part isn't strictly wrong, but the whole sentence is awkward in several ways.

    For one thing, it has some punctuation problems that in turn create a singular/plural agreement problem. You can't put a comma between the subject and the verb, though you can put one after a sentence adverb, and you should use two commas to set off an interjected phrase.


    Furthermore, it shows that language, and with it grammar, is a tool ...
    (or even:
    Furthermore, it shows that language, and, with it, grammar, is a tool ...)
    Furthermore, it shows that language and grammar are tools ...


    The end is also sort of a mess. Do you really even need 'to the recipient'? If you must have it, I would put it next to 'convey,' but I think it would be better just to leave it out.

    And just logically, isn't grammar a subset of language, not a parallel concept? The idea seems to be something more like 'Language, which of course includes grammar, is ...' -- but you need to clarify that relation in your mind in order to express it clearly.
