The 5-column system explains the complexities of English grammar at a glance. Barbara Förster, the owner of the language school LbT-languages, developed this system which is covered in two 81/2 x 11 pages. Her goal was to make English grammar as user-friendly and as easily applicable as possible without having to explain it through the use of expansive grammatical terminology. We have used this grammar system in our English courses for years. With the help of the 5-column system, beginners and advanced speakers learn correct sentence structure and verb tenses in a very short time span. We now offer you the 5-column system for English grammar for your personal use for free.
