Young Learners
The five foundation pillars every reader needs first — written for ages 8–18 and the grown-ups helping them. Every article here has a plain-English twin in the main library, in both UK and US English.
The five foundations
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”
