Many explanations of English grammar in learning materials present rules together with lists of exceptions.
For learners, this often leads to memorization rather than understanding, and the logic behind grammatical choices can remain unclear.
ELM Research Lab approaches English grammar from a different perspective.
Instead of treating grammar as a fixed set of rules and exceptions, it views grammar as a system shaped by how speakers construe situations in context.
From this perspective, choices of tense, modality, or sentence structure are not arbitrary forms to memorize, but meaningful ways in which speakers express their interpretation of a situation.
By reconsidering grammar in this way, ELM Research Lab seeks explanations that help learners develop a clearer and more coherent understanding of English.
