Grammar: Programmed Learning
Free · Designed for iPad
A classic step-by-step grammar course, rebuilt as an interactive app.
English Grammar: Programmed turns a full programmed learning course into a clean, modern practice app. Work through units, lessons, and frames that guide you from simple sentences all the way to clauses, punctuation, and tricky verb forms—always one small step at a time.
The app uses a structured course with:
• 12 themed units covering verbs, subjects, modifiers, pronouns, clauses, capitals, commas, apostrophes, and more.
• Short lessons with a clear explanation at the top and focused practice frames below.
• Multiple-choice drills for every concept, with one clear correct answer for each frame.
• A consistent, distraction-free interface in light and dark modes.
What you’ll learn
Whether you’re a student, an adult brushing up, or a non-native speaker tightening your writing, English Grammar: Programmed gives you old-school drills with modern polish—one frame at a time.
Unit 1 – The Verb and Its Subject
• What makes a complete sentence (naming part + telling part).
• Complete subject vs. complete predicate.
• Simple subject and verb, and how to find them.
• Action verbs vs. state-of-being (linking) verbs.
• How nouns and pronouns work as subjects.
• How pronouns replace nouns correctly.
• Direct objects and indirect objects (e.g. “Dad gave me an orchid”).
• Linking verbs (is, are, was, were, seems, became, looked…) and subject complements.
• Compound subjects, compound verbs, and verbs made of more than one word (will be leaving, should have started).
Unit 2 – Patterns of the Simple Sentence
• Subject–verb, subject–verb–object, and indirect object patterns.
• How to spot direct objects (“What receives the action?”).
• How to recognize real indirect objects vs. “to/for” phrases.
• How linking verbs are completed by subject complements.
• Compound parts: compound subjects, compound verbs, compound objects, and compound complements.
Unit 3 – The Work of Modifiers
• Adjectives: what kind, which one, and how many.
• Words that can be adjectives or pronouns (this, that, these, those).
• Adverbs: how, when, where, how often, and how much.
• Recognizing the difference between adjective and adverb forms (e.g. eager / eagerly).
• Prepositions and prepositional phrases: position, direction, and time (on, under, to, from, until, through…).
Unit 4 – Building Better Sentences
• How to recognize compound sentences with and, but, or.
• When a sentence is not compound (shared subject or shared verb).
• Adverb clauses: signals like because, if, when, while, until, so that and what they tell (when, where, how, why).
• Adjective clauses: signals like who, whom, whose, which, that and how they modify nouns.
Unit 5 – Understanding the Sentence Unit
• Sentence fragments: word groups that look like sentences but aren’t.
• How to fix fragments by adding a missing subject or predicate.
• Why dependent clauses like because the bridge collapsed are not sentences.
• Run-on sentences and comma splices—and how to correct them with periods, commas + conjunctions, or better structure.
Unit 6 – Using Verbs Correctly
• How irregular verbs really work: simple past vs. past-with-helper (began / begun, broke / broken, did / done…).
Unit 7 – Agreement of Subject and Verb
Unit 8 – Choosing the Right Modifier
Unit 9 – Using Pronouns Correctly
Unit 11 – Learning to Use Commas
Unit 12 – Apostrophes and Quotation Marks
