The best place to get help with grammar, sentence structure and other style concerns is our Writing Center at RCC. In it, you can find grammar exercises, textbooks, reference books, and lots of live bodies to answer your questions. But, if you aren't on campus or you are feeling a little people shy, these websites are good alternatives.

• One of the best grammar sites there is, complete with exercises, explanations, quizzes and all sorts of goodies is this one, formerly known as Darling's Guide to Grammar. You can also access this directly from the RCC Writing and Reading Center page.
