k, The rules have not changed. Americans are simply uneducated in the 21st century. People who routinely say, "I seen it," "I don't know where she's at," "a whole 'nother," "return back," and "first initial," are modern-day hillbillies who can't speak their one-and-only language correctly (few Americans speak more than one language these days). It's a national disgrace.

Player #85315195, another change...we grew up w do not end a sentence with a preposition. The rules just changed..it's OK. Is this OK because so many don't use this good rule..so just ignore it?

Some of the questions are poorly worded and if you accidentally hit a wrong answer there is no way to correct it!!

Nanna, I remember those early Saturday morning cartoons too 😂 Conjunction junction: I'm just a Bill and I'm only a bill.

I love learning about grammar. It’s the skeleton of the language!

Lionessa, well my brother put it this way. In every culture and time period, civilization keeps getting smarter and smarter and getting better and better until something happens and for whatever reason, they start “dumbing down.” I think we’re in that phase now. Sorry guys.
Andi

Andi
Lady butterfly, Boy, have u got that right!! They crucify the Kings English, all the time!

BBC English. A dying art.

So grateful for this. Our English grammar stopped being taught in full as I came along (born 1956). My brother learned it all. It was dumbed-down for me. I only learned any of it because I studied other languages, where all the parts were taught intact. This is a succinct and elegant synopsis and taught me things I never learned before.

Nanna, You Rocked that School House Rock song!! Gonna be singing it all dayyyy!

My mom had a PhD in English. I learned more about English from her than all the other English teachers

Player #57348766, The correct syntax is "should have." "Should of" is incorrect.
