What can we conclude about the relationship between a person's age of acquisition of a second language and his or her mastery of grammar?
a. So far, no research has demonstrated a relationship between these two variables. b. Linguistically skilled individuals tend to master grammar better if they learn a second language during childhood; individuals with below-average skills tend to master grammar better if they learn a second language during adulthood. c.
