On this thorough Capital College web site, you will find sections on
grammar, sentence structure, and formatting. The site also offers
samples of different types of letters and Power Point presentations on a variety of subjects.

This site is particularly good because it offers quizzes. You could read up on, for example, parallelism, and then complete a multiple-choice quiz on the subject. You find out how you scored immediately after submitting the quiz.

This page, entitled "Grammar And Punctuation Exercises Excite the
Writing Palette," contains sections on all facets of grammar. It opens
with the following quote by Joan Didion, one of my favourite writers:
"Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its
power."

Association (APA) style resources, will serve as a useful reference now
and in the future.

students whose first language is Spanish. This site also offers a "Daily
Idiom."
