Young Learners
Every teaching pillar, written for ages 11–18 and the grown-ups helping them — the same rules as the main library, in smaller steps with friendlier examples. Start with the foundations and work along the shelf; each article here has a plain-English twin in the main library, in both UK and US English.
The twelve pillars
Start at the top and build up- I · Foundations What grammar even is, and the words we'll use to talk about it
- II · Parts of Speech Nouns, verbs, adjectives — the different jobs that words can do
- III · Sentences How words join up into sentences that actually make sense
- IV · The Verb System Doing words, and how they change for when something happens
- V · Agreement Making the parts of a sentence match — “she runs”, never “she run”
- VI · Punctuation Full stops, commas and apostrophes — the marks that keep writing clear
- VII · Capitals When a word gets a capital letter, and when it doesn't
- VIII · Spelling Tricky spellings, and the UK/US differences that trip people up
- IX · Style Making your writing clear, and choosing the right words for the reader
- X · Common Errors The slip-ups almost everyone makes — and how to fix them fast
- XI · Advanced The clever extras, once the basics feel easy
- XII · Reference Look up any grammar word in plain English, plus the grown-up charts for later
