I feel a bit stupid as I have done English to degree level, and have studied linguistics too (have a joint degree), now doing a course that requires a lot of knowledge about English grammar and I’m lost .
Have to do grammar parsing so analysing sentences - splitting them up into clauses, phrases, and working out what words are used eg determiners, prepositions, knowing what a copula(?) is, indefinite article and understanding tenses eg past, present, perfect progressive etc, fronted adverbials, all sorts .
I’m totally lost as have never yet studied this before - I left school in 2009 and I don’t think grammar was ever taught beyond the very basics .
If there’s any decent sources of help out there would really appreciate it ! I’ve got a textbook, workbook from uni, and been told to use BBC bitesize (!) but totally lost!
If anyone has any experience or advice would really appreciate it - everyone I’ve asked says they’ve never heard of it before ...
