Some Good Online Websites for Grammar and Usage
Online Quizzes
GrammarBook
https://www.grammarbook.com
Pull down the “Quizzes” menu and select “Free Quizzes”. Scroll down a short way to see the list of free quizzes.
Or you can pull down the “English Rules” menu and select a general category of your choice. You will arrive at a list of specific topics. Select a topic. You will arrive at an explanation of the particular rule, followed by a quiz.
Getitwrite
http://www.getitwriteonline.com/archive/index.htm
In the left-hand list, click on “Tip Archive”. You will arrive at a list of “Previous Articles”. Click on the topic of your choice. Each article includes a “Test Yourself” section at the end.
Free Online Editing
Grammarly
http://www.grammarly.com/
An online grammar checker
Pro Writing Aid
http://prowritingaid.com/
Pro Writing Aid is similar to Grammarly except that it identifies a broader range of errors besides just grammar. I haven’t used Grammarly much, so I am not sure if it offers significant advantages over Pro Writing Aid.
Online Style Book
The Christian Writer’s Manual of Style
http://books.google.com/books?id=qC8XIE ... &q&f=false
This is a Google book, so of course, it doesn't include the entire book. However, I came upon it the other day, and it answered my specific question. I browsed the rest, and it looks helpful.
