Grammar Quirks
The English language is endlessly interesting - here are a few oddities!
If you're a grammar nerd, these are for you
Some of the language puzzles that make English fascinating
Think you know English grammar? So did I… until I started noticing all the oddities, exceptions and subtle differences that don’t quite fit the usual rules.
Grammar Quirks is a free collection of short videos exploring some of the more surprising corners of the English language. These aren’t necessarily the grammar points you’ll find neatly explained in a coursebook. They’re the questions that make teachers stop and think:
Why do we say it like that?
Is that really grammatically correct?
And why has nobody ever mentioned this before?
In each bite-sized video, I take one intriguing feature of English and unpack what’s really going on.
