Let's get started!
The site covers "common" grammar mistakes. The aim is to focus on the most commonly made mistakes. This means that readers can set themselves a reasonable target. So, rather than trying to learn all English grammar, readers can just focus on those areas that tend to be used the most frequently and / or tend to create the most misunderstandings.
You may find a different explanation for some grammar points in different sources. In order to make sure that you are using the structures accurately, considering different factors, (the focus of the structure; level of English; register i.e. being formal or informal; version of English e.g. British, American, etc.; and others) consult your teacher.
To my fellow teachers and to my beloved students: As this site was put together single-handedly, it is prone to mistakes. Please contact me if you spot any problems. The whole idea behind this site was to have a dynamic learning space, constantly evolving into a better version, so help me make it better. The site will be updated regularly.
Making mistakes is a natural component of any learning process. Let's make better mistakes!
