word classes in English. Related guides are linked from those.
The subcategories are also linked here but only from the in-service
guides.
The left-hand links in this diagram take you to the more complex and
difficult in-service guides; the right-hand links take you to
simpler, essential guides.

At the end of each guide, there is a link to bring you back to this
