Question ID: 278587
I need to acquire some web resources of English Language instruction.
Resources such as diagrams of sentences (The different types of
clauses), diagrams of grammatical concepts (rules for
commas/semicolons,uses of articles and prepositions), explanations of
these grammatical rules. A few excercises of on each of these would be
helpful also. In all I would like to have about 12 links to such
resources if possible. I already have many resources from the Purdue
Online Writing Lab (OWL) and Dave's Online ESL cafe--so please do not
give me resources from these two places. These resources should be
appropriate for an upper high school/lower college level of study.
