Real Grammar: Introduction with Michael Rundell

Welcome to the Real Grammar video series. Some people get upset about what they regard as ‘bad grammar’, and believe we must all 'follow the rules'. But where do these rules come from? And are they all valid? In this introduction, Michael Rundell explains why real grammar is based on the evidence of language in use.

Hello Teacher... very nice and useful video. I love studying Grammar Rules but I know it is not enougt to speak English. All my life I have been learning Grammar Rules and they helped me a lot. That's why I'm typing this comment here. Thanks!
