 If \( G \) is a grammar, let \( H \) be its reverse, so for production \( A \to w \) in \( G \) we have \( A \to w^R \) in \( H \). If \( G \) is a grammar, let \( H \) be its reverse, so for production \( A \to w \) in \( G \) we have \( A \to w^R \) in \( H \).
  
 Then by induction we show that the original grammar \( G \) generates a string iff the reverse grammar \( H \) generates the reverse of the string.
