Guide to Grammar and Writing – Professor Charles Darling, Capital Community-Technical College
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar
This is an exhaustive grammar and writing guide with concise explanations of rules. Click on the INDEX button to get the comprehensive list of topics (everything from subject/verb agreement to tense consistency to comma splices). Each grammar rule is presented clearly, including exceptions, followed by several interactive quizzes (with helpful hints along the way). The English Language Center Study Zone
http://web2.uvcs.uvic.ca/elc/studyzone/grammar.htm
This site provides a basic index of grammar points, presented in simpler language than that used in Charles Darling’s guide, which may be particularly helpful for ELL students. The simplified presentations of grammar rules are followed by interactive exercises. There are also especially helpful pages on conditionals – “Which Conditional Should I Use?”
Self-Study Grammar Quizzes
The Internet TESL Journal
http://a4esl.org/
This site only provides quizzes without preliminary explanations, but for the motivated student, it can be a useful resource.
