I’m Steve Ayers, founder of Grammar Mechanics. I started this site for people who don’t want to read the same explanations they’ve read a million times, but want practical, nuts and bolts advice.
Here at Grammar Mechanics we believe grammar is important but should be seen as a means to an end. We try to find a middle ground between those who believe grammar doesn’t need to be taught because students will pick it up naturally and those who think that without explicit instruction, students will never learn grammar.
Coffee and Bagel
Writing blog posts, creating quizzes, and planning email tips takes a lot of time. Sometimes I need a coffee break. I try to keep annoying ads that pop up randomly, I ask for coffee and bagel donations instead.
