Overview
Who needs grammar? You do! That is, if you want to accurately and thoroughly understand the Bible sitting in front of you. For, language is much more than individual words. It’s words being put together with other words in logical patterns to create meaning.
While using grammar to parse sentences is not a Bible study method in and of itself, it is a foundational skill that you need in Bible study. Consider the Bible study methods we teach at Biblearc. Phrasing requires you to identify types of phrases in the text in order to break up a passage and relate its pieces. Arcing and Bracketing require you to find subject-verb clauses and understand how such clauses (or “propositions”) fit together, noting conditional sentences, conjunctions, relative clauses, and more.
And while we will be studying English grammar in this course, don’t discount its usefulness in learning Biblical Hebrew or Koine Greek. The vast majority of what you discover here will cross over to the study of these two languages as well.
So, no matter your age, and whether you just need to freshen up your grammar or are starting from scratch, join us for 6th Grade English Grammar for Adults.

Course Instructor
Hi. My name is Sarah and I love language. My minor in college was Spanish, and I learned Modern Hebrew while living in Israel. In recent years, I began homeschooling my four children. Growing up, I learned grammar intuitively and through foreign language acquisition, but could not have explained how the English language works. It’s fascinating! I’m excited to help you improve your grammar as well.
—Sarah Hubert

Course format
Each week, students will read through one lesson with assignment elements to work on and meet together in a virtual classroom via Zoom. Students who enroll should expect to attend the class and complete each lesson on time.
During the live class time, a teacher will teach new content based on that week’s lesson and facilitate a group discussion. Students will also be able to sign up for one-on-one coaching times with their coach.
The course requires about three-four hours per week from students. This includes reading the lesson, completing the assignment, and participating in the live class time.
Course requirements
Weekly Requirements: The course requires students to complete three tasks each week:
- Read the lesson content (about 1.5 hours)
- Complete the assignments (about 1-1.5 hours)
- Participate in a live class (about 1 hour)
Assignments: Weekly assignment elements allow students to apply the principles they learn.
