Abstract
The basic foundations and building blocks of General Relativity are discussed with a view to introduce various modifications and extensions of the theory. After a brief discussion of matter couplings, Einstein–Cartan theory and the Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity are introduced, these can be seen as the linear extensions. This is followed by nonlinear extensions which include many topical modified theories of gravity currently being studied.
