GRAMMAR and WRITING WEBSITES

Below are some suggested URL sites that have good grammar explanations and exercises, where the software gives you immediate feedback and sometimes explanations of what is going on at the level of your sentence.  Ablongman.com, owl, commnet, georgiasouthern and wikipedia often address many other goals as well as the ones noted.

The oatmean.com is a good site for general grammar advice [there, their, they’re]. However, new sites are added to the net every day, so do a Google or Bing search and see if you can’t find even better places to study and practise your writing goals.
