English Grammar Resources: Prepositions, Linking & Helping Verbs : Half a Hundred Acre Wood

I receive commissions for purchases made through links in this post. Please see our full disclosure policy for more details. Thank you for supporting Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood through your purchases.

Welcome to our list of resources for practicing prepositions, linking verbs, and helping verbs. This list of grammar resources provides practice with learning and applying these elements of English grammar.

In the primary grades (K-2), our children learn quite a bit of English grammar through our custom-built plan based on the Words are Categorical book series by Brian Cleary (along with selections from Our Mother Tongue) and IEW’s Bible Heroes Writing Lessons. The Words are Categorical Books include the following (and several more!):

(Our custom-built plan was the result of concepts I found lacking in our oldest child before he went into Essentials – and because our second child needed a bit of creativity in his English Grammar diet.) I highly recommend these resources for learning English grammar easily in the early grades!
