Online Resources: English Grammar

Learning English now is very easy as there are many reliable resources on the web which will help us any student of English irrespective of their level. Some selected websites has been given here.

www.englishtown.com


Englishtown
is a reliable source in learning English professionally. Their trainers will give the students a holistic approach to language learning. They are giving training on Business English, Industry specific courses, TOEFEL& TOEIC.

public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/index.html

The site gives a comprehensive list of common errors in English, which has been taken from Paul Brians' "Common Errors in English Usage." It is a guide where we can see almost all the issues addressed. The highlight is that some other good sources are also mentioned at the end.

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl

Anyone who wants to get an overall picture about language and style, I would suggest owl.english.purdue.edu. Along with grammar, the site provides instructions on general writing, research, teaching, ESL etc.

www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/

As we know, BBC is an authentic source regarding English language. For anyone who wants to learn Standard English, BBC is a must.


www.tolearnenglish.com/

Contrary to other language sites, what is attractive about this site is that it contains language games, jokes etc. Apart from that there is a discussion forum also.

www.drgrammar.org

The site, as the name shows is a doctor to treat our English diseases. It is maintained by UNI Department of Languages and Literatures.

grammar.quickanddirtytips.com

quickanddirtytips provides a lot of tips to improve English language skills. The site has a podcast version for all its lessons, which will help the learners listen and understand.

yourdictionary.com

yourdictionary.com is an authentic site on English usage. In this particular URL, the site is providing 5 most common errors in English. Correcting these errors will make ones writing perfect.

http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/kids/animals/malefemalechild/

This section of the site would be good for early learners of English, especially children. It is specially designed for kids, so following the link will make learning an entertaining experience.


www.enchantedlearning.com

As the previous site, this also helps the kids to learn some basic ideas in the language.

http://www.eslgold.com/grammar/basic_sentence.html

This link will help the learners to master sentence structure.

www.english-the-easy-way.com

Learning English is always easy as the site promises. It has different sections such as Grammar, Writing Skills, Academic Writing, Punctuation, Speaking English, Proofreading & Editing, Reading, Job Hunting, Writing Resumes, Vocabulary and so on.

www.englishpage.com

englishpage.com is good for understanding almost all topics in English. However, I would suggest this especially to improve tenses. The exercises given are very good to master the basic ideas of tense.

grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar

Referring different topics in different sites is always very monotonous, but if you check grammar.ccc.commnet.edu, then no need of another source at all.

www.world-english.org

If you are looking for activity oriented learning, there is no other best source than this. As they claim, it is "the one-stop resource for the English language and more..."
