What children learn in Level 27
- Welcome to the Grammar Forge! Here we shape sentences until they're strong. Indefinite pronouns don't name exactly who: everyone, each, both, several.
- Words like everyone, each, and nobody are singular, even when they sound like many people. Everyone has a ticket.
- Both, several, many, and few are plural. Both of the books are on the shelf.
- Careful with each of the. The word each is the subject, so it's still singular. Each of the students has a locker.
