3. Fundamentals of HTML & CSS - You should have very basic knowledge of Html, as while writing webdriver code you would need to find out locators of different web elements like text boxes, links, radio buttons etc. So it would be good to have some knowledge in html.

4. Locators - There are generally 9 different types of locators by which you can locate a web element in Selenium, but most important are xpath & css. Refer - Selenium Locators

5. Selenium Webdriver - After learning any language, you have to learn Webdriver commands and their real-time implementation. Refer - Selenium Webdriver Tutorials Series
