 # Expression Syntax
 
-The following rules define the expression syntax in TiDB. You can find the definition in `parser/parser.y`. The syntax parsing in TiDB is based on Yacc.

+An expression is a combination of one or more values, operators, or functions. In TiDB, expressions are mainly used in various clauses of the `SELECT` statement, including Group by clause, Where clause, Having clause, Join condition and window function. In addition, some DDL statements also use expressions, such as the setting of the default values, columns, and partition rules when creating tables.
+
+The expressions can be divided into the following types:
+
+- Identifier. For reference, see [Schema object names](/schema-object-names.md).
+
+- Predicates, numeric values, strings, date expressions. The [Literal values](/literal-values.md) of these types are also expressions.
+
+- Function calls and window functions. For reference, see [Functions and operators overview](/functions-and-operators/functions-and-operators-overview.md) and [Window functions](/functions-and-operators/window-functions.md)
+
+- ParamMarker (`?`), system variables, user variables and CASE expressions.
+
+The following rules are the expression syntax, which is based on the [parser.y](https://github.com/pingcap/parser/blob/master/parser.y) rules of TiDB parser. For the navigable version of the following syntax diagram, refer to [TiDB SQL Syntax Diagram](https://pingcap.github.io/sqlgram/#Expression).
