On some of the pages, there is a grammar tool that highlights some of the grammatical structures in the sentences. Use the Grammar button at the top to reveal the menu of options you can use. The paging controls show the grammar-enabled pages in yellow.

Use the grammar feature to draw attention to the grammatical patterns in sentences. For example:

Turn on subjects and verbs to see how they must agree in person and quantity. See how the normal order is the subject first, then the verb - but notice how starting a clause with 'there' puts the subject after the verb (you can check it by seeing which word agrees with the verb). There were more newspaper articles.

Turn on verbs and main clauses to see that every clause has a main verb and often one or two helping (auxiliary) verbs that help with tense and mode. Turn on subordinate clauses and relative clauses and see that these too have a main verb and optional helping verbs.

Turn on main clauses and subordinate clauses to see how the subordinate clause doesn't make complete sense on its own and depends on the main clause for its meaning. See also how sometimes the subordinate clause is 'fronted' in which case it gets a comma after it.

Turn on relative clauses to see how they are often introduced with a relative pronoun (shown in deeper mauve), but not always. In these other cases, there is an implied 'that' that is not there. Now it wasn't just honey they could buy.

Turn on subjects, main clauses and co-ordinating conjunctions to see how when two clauses are joined with a conjunction, sometimes the second clause has no subject within it because its sense is 'carried over' from the first clause. Every day, she laid fresh bracken in his den at the back of the cage, and gave him fresh water.
