Learning through the ages: schools, universities, libraries and science, sentence 6
Al-Qarawiyyin in Fez was founded in 859 by a woman, Fatima al-Fihri, long before Oxford; but who is «first» depends on what you count as a university, so it is a real argument.
Who acts: woman, you, university · What happens: found, be, depend, count · To what, where: Al, 859, real argument
