Master English Sentence Structure | Better Grammar, Writing (Udemy.com)

A free 78 minute grammar primer from Langpill that walks through the pieces of an English sentence: nouns, verbs, objects, adjectives, prepositions, conjunctions, then the four sentence types and four sentence structures. It's nine short lectures in one section plus a bonus lecture, with practice questions built into each video. The audience is English learners who can already follow a spoken lecture and want the foundations laid out plainly before they tackle harder grammar. Anyone brushing up on school grammar will find it familiar.

Reviewers like how straightforward it is. Scott Mendoza explains each part of speech, gives examples, then pauses so students can answer before he does, and one reviewer singles out those pause moments as something she liked. Another says it reminded her of grammar she'd forgotten from school. The complaints are mild but real. One reviewer noticed practice questions that don't quite match the topic, with answers that aren't fully accurate. Another calls it good for basics only, and one says some topics get a mention rather than a proper lesson.

The price is right, since it costs nothing, and the last refresh was August 2024. There's no certificate, no captions, and the final lecture is a pitch for Langpill's paid courses. Next to the longer English grammar and IELTS courses on this page it's the quick warm up, not the main event. Take it in an afternoon, then move to something with real depth if the basics land.
