Help with grammar help: Purdue Online Writing Lab

[Brian G Turner]

Here's a resource I found today for tackling certain grammar issues that looks reasonably easy to follow:
Purdue OWL

For example:

How and when to use commas:
Purdue OWL: Commas

Fused sentences:
Purdue OWL: Independent and Dependent Clauses

Making subjects and verbs agree:
Purdue OWL: Subject/Verb Agreement

Happy reading.

Nice links. This is just what I was looking for. Thanks

Ah! The OWL! Yes, I used that when I first taught myself grammar and punctuation (I was HORRENDOUS at those when I left school). I think I posted their site link here a few years ago. Wonderful site. The only other thing I would recommend is Strunk and White's The Elements of Style, which is only a small book. Combined, I think they pretty much taught me most of my lessons, actually, as well as The Self-Editing Guide For Fiction Writers.
