Grammar basics

The basic pieces of grammatical machinery that N5 Grammar concepts build on: plain forms, the polite past, and putting a modifier in front of a noun. They sit underneath JLPT rather than inside a level, which is why they have their own place here — and they are this app's own curriculum, not an official JLPT list.
