The English language, spoken and written, can be very confusing at times as there are rules to follow to accurately convey your thoughts.
Some rules contradict others ('i' before 'e' except after 'c'). Knowing which verb tense (past, perfect continuous, future) to use is paramount to avoid any embarrassment.
And then there are irregular forms of words (go, went, gone).
Even attempting to learn the basics, like nouns, verbs, and pronouns, may be overwhelming if there is no universal agreement on the nuances of grammar. Currently, there are ongoing debates about the number of noun types.
Some scholars say that there are eight types of nouns, while others argue for eleven.
A third perspective contends that there should be nine types because one noun (abstract, concrete, collective, compound, gender-specific, gerunds, non-countable, countable, verbal) can fit multiple categories simultaneously.
This is why Project MainFrame6 was created: to simplify the learning process.
The goal of this website is to deconstruct each part of speech, each sentence type, as well as provide links to other websites concerning the subject matter.
This is a research tool for anyone interested in enhancing their grasp of grammar and writing in English.
