The problem is it's a nonsense. We 100% do get taught grammatical terms in the UK, but GP has just forgotten them/wasn't paying attention in school.

- kwhitefoot 6y agoOr they are old enough to have had exactly the experience they describe. I am 64 and was never taught any formal grammar in primary school except in French lessons and then in Latin from 1st form to 4th form. We were taught English usage by example and expected to write essays in good English but we never analysed sentences to mark verbs and nouns, etc.
