I just came across a great grammar site when I was looking for the difference between "in school" and "at school". If you have a question, you can ask, or search for a specific question!!

Make it a sticky for all those grammar Q's we get on here?

We're a bit short on grammar-related stickies on Dave's, aren't we? It would be handy to have the main basic grammar points on reference here.

Yeah, some of us DO teach higher levels and run across some difficult questions. Last week one of my students told me that he was watching CSI and had a question. He asked what the difference between perforation and penetration was!! (Ok...get your minds out of the gutter...it had to do with a bullet!!). THIS WAS FROM A UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN!!!!!!!! Shocked

Another very good site for grammar related questions is The Grammar Aquarium. The explanations are almost always very clear, there are a lot of examples and then a worksheet (with answers!). It would be useful for adults, but the worksheet would not be useful for teaching younger kids.

I think a sticky would be a good idea if it contained a list of all the GOOD grammar sites and a description/comment about what age group the site is good for.

Ya-ta: That's a great site, too! I checked out adverbs of frequency (just did a lesson on this) and it's great! My poor students!! Where does the adver go???? So many choices...so many rules! What I tell them is to READ READ READ!! Instead of trying to memorize 5 million grammar rules, reading will give them a sense of where the adverb goes.

Does anyone else have any great grammar sites? If we get enough, I think a sticky is in order!! So far, we have:

English Club has some great summaries of grammar.
