Serbian grammar, rule by rule
One short card per rule of the course: the table, the key points, an example. The cards are for checking something fast, not for learning from scratch; that is what the lessons in the app are for, and they go much deeper. Here the cards are free to read, in the order the course teaches them.
- One card per rule, free to read, no account
- Short by design: the table and the key points, for a quick check
- Each card names the lesson that teaches the rule in full
Your first 10 lessons are free, in any course. No card needed.

Sentences
Write it in Serbian
You are not teachers, you are students.
negated 'to be' (plural you) + plural noun, then pronoun + 'to be' + plural noun
The sentence step, up close
The checking is smart. The standard is not.
You get a sentence in your language and write it in Serbian. The check reads every word, marks the one that broke and shows the rule behind it.
- 1
Every valid answer is accepted.
Word order, synonyms, a dropped pronoun: each sentence carries all of its accepted forms. This one takes 32.
- 2
Typos are forgiven, and flagged.
A slipped letter still counts as correct. A wrong ending never does; that is where the grammar lives.
- 3
Every miss lowers something specific.
A wrong form halves the level of that word or that rule, not of the whole sentence. Your weak spots come back sooner.
