About us
GrammarTips.net was built on one idea: grammar shouldn’t require a linguistics degree to understand.
Our vision
Most grammar sites give you either a wall of academic prose or a list of rules with no explanation. GrammarTips.net takes a third path: direct answers backed by real examples, written in plain language that doesn’t assume you already know the terminology.
The site was started by Natalka Skakalka after years of watching students — smart professionals fluent in two or three other languages — stumble on the same handful of English grammar questions again and again. The explanations already existed; what was missing was a place that presented them clearly, without jargon, and without padding.
Our mission
To be the reference you actually trust. Not a textbook, not a forum thread, not an AI-generated list — a site where every claim is checked, every example is real, and the explanation stops exactly when it should.
Grammar is practical. Our articles are structured around the questions people search for, not around the categories linguists use to organise syllabuses. That means: if you’re unsure whether to write “fewer” or “less,” you’ll find the answer in the title, not buried in paragraph four.
How we work
Every article on GrammarTips.net goes through the same process. It starts with a real question — from a reader, a student, or a grammar forum. The draft is then researched against multiple style guides (Chicago, AP, Oxford, Cambridge), cross-checked with native-speaker usage corpora, and reviewed for tone and readability before it’s published.
Nothing goes live with a rule we can’t source or an example we wouldn’t use ourselves. If the answer depends on context (British vs. American English, formal vs. informal), we say so explicitly rather than picking one and hoping you don’t notice.
Articles are updated when usage changes or when a reader points out something we missed. Grammar isn’t frozen — and neither are our articles.
What we’re not
We don’t run ads. We don’t accept sponsored content or paid placements. We don’t pad articles to hit a word count. We don’t write ten paragraphs of history before answering the question you came for.
If an article starts with the answer, it’s intentional. You can read on for context, examples, and exceptions — or you can close the tab already knowing what you needed. Either is fine with us.
Our team
GrammarTips.net is run by a small team of writers and editors. The editorial decisions — what to cover, how to explain it, when to simplify and when not to — are made by Natalka Skakalka, who has been teaching English to adult learners for over a decade.
