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.
http://www.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/
- This is the best ever online writing lab
website. Some of the information refers to the actual brick and mortar
writing center at Purdue University. The main thing you will probably
want to make use of are there handouts - especially the ones on grammar,
punctuation & spelling.
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/
- This site is very comprehensive, covering
everything from MLA style to essay structure, and of course, grammar.
The grammar sections, under "Mechanics" on the menu at the
left are very thorough. Give this one a look.

- As they say themselves, "This Handbook explains
and illustrates the basic grammatical rules concerning parts of speech,
phrases, clauses, sentences and sentence elements, and common problems
of usage."

- This site has explanations and exercises
for different grammar rules.

- This site the "Grammar Slammer" is mostly
a very organized set of grammar rules. So this is best used by someone
who knows exactly what question they want to ask, or has some idea of
the correct usage, but just wants to double check.

- This site is a great resource for double-checking
your MLA formatting style. It has rules for in-text citations, list
of works cited and a sample paper so you can see what it is supposed
to look at when it is all done.
