Finding Grammar Topics
on These Pages
First, we recommend the hyperlinked INDEX. The index does not reference
the quizzes or the Grammar Logs (see below). See also the FAQ File,
frequently asked questions.
You can also try the new Search Engine

Interactive Quizzes
Over 150 challenging computer-graded (cgi-based and javascript) quizzes to test
your knowledge of grammar! Take the quizzes as a challenge or just for fun, or
read the digital handouts listed above first. Many of the quizzes are also listed at
the end of the appropriate sections.

Ask Grammar!
Click here to get a form that will allow you to submit a question about
English usage or grammar. It's a good idea to check the FAQ File first to see
if your question has already been answered. Also, look in the Index and
consult the Search Engine to make sure the answer is not already part of the
Guide. Answers are posted in the Grammar Logs (below) — sometimes
within hours, almost always within a day or two. Full responses are
sometimes sent through e-mail, or you will be notified that answers have
been posted in the Grammar Logs (listed below).
GRAMMAR LOGS
This is where Grammar keeps track of questions and answers. Once filled,
each volume contains 100 questions, ten "logs" of ten questions each. We
suggest you look through these volumes to see if your question has been
asked and answered before; in the process, you will surely find many
interesting questions from other users around the world. There is also an
FAQ File, a list of Frequently Asked Questions, hyperlinked to appropriate
answers within the Guide. So far, questions have been submitted from 123
countries — click HERE for a list — and all fifty states of the U.S.A.
