Guide to Grammar and Writing
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/
This is an excellant straight-forward presentation of proper grammar… like where do those quotation marks go when there is a comma? when on earth is it whom not who? and how do I keep my tenses straight? Powerpoint presentations are also prepared for some easy viewing grammar lessons.
Foreign Language Dictionaries
Please note: The following dictionaries are the best found for free and online in the given languages. It can be dangerous using simpler translation services for the purpose of homework assignments because they avoid the complexity of the words. [e.g. in English we use the one word fish to mean: singular fish, plural fish, verb of fish, fish as food, etc. In other languages, there are distincly different words for all of these meanings.] Use the Google translator or Babelfish for fun… use more thorough dictionaries to help you through that paragraph you are trying to write for school.
