I never had a problem with learning English Grammar, it's simple if you compare it to other languages.
I spent my first year at school learning to write (German) - spelling was an automatic part of that, the teaching of grammar began in second year - very boring, but the exercises proved absolutely essential. No such thing happened here with my children and it may be different nowadays.
I remember attending French classes here, and the local gals had no idea when our French teacher tried to explain what a 'verb' a 'noun' a 'suffix' etc was, I remember being constantly asked by one of my neighbours to explain and these were adults!
Here on these illustrious pages, if you venture outside this thread and ignoring the often willfully misspelled words of NBD's - there seems to be a tendency for using 'bought' instead of 'brought' 'sought' instead of 'thought' etc. etc. the double 'l' at the end of words like willful - is a never-ending source of hilarity and similar - I give up
Anyone? Is English grammar, spelling being taught in primary school? The lack of this instruction makes it difficult to learn foreign languages!
@NoBoDe please check out the 'politics' thread, I have been busy on that
go well
