during a punt the receiving team may choose to fair catch the ball.

The player signals this to the other team and the refs by waiving his hand high in the air before he catches the ball.

When he does this and then catches the ball the play is over and the offense comes out and starts from the exact spot he caught the ball.

No defensive player is allowed to hit a player who signals fair catch.

If a player calls a faircatch and then touches but does not catch the ball the play continues and the kicking team may get the ball and then will have a first down.

Is punt returner who gives fair catch signal afforded protection after the punt hits the ground in high school game under nfhs rules?

The way "fair catch" is defined under NFHS rules (2-9-1), the receiver must give a valid signal AND must also make the catch before it can be called a "fair catch." If the ball hits the ground, there is no fair catch and therefore no protection for the receiver is warranted.

Is this phrase has a correct grammar anyone's sight wasn't catch a glimpse of your essence?

No. Neither the phrase nor the question employs correct English grammar.The answer to "Does this phrase use correct grammar?""Anyone's sight wasn't catch a glimpse of your essence" could be written as "No one's eyes could ever catch a glimpse of your true essence." This is poetic but somewhat of a truism, because essences are by definition seldom observable.
