This website Hyper Grammar, which belongs to the writing center of University of Ottawa, offers a large number of useful links and resources that can help students in regarding to their writings especially with grammar. The web page is divided into several sessions, each of which represents a part of the grammar. For example, there is Punctuation, Pronouns, Verbs, and Clauses. Within each session, there are a few sub-links which explain the specific part and its function in the whole grammar. Also there are several examples offered to help students understand that specific part of grammar clearly.
Personally, I think this website is very useful to students with weak grammar skills. A lot of students have always had the concern with the grammar in their essays. Usually they take their drafts to the writing center to seek the help from the tutor, but a lot of times the tutors are not very willing to correct grammars—they rather focus on the big picture. With the assistance from this website, students can do-it-yourself check their grammar mistakes 24/7.
Three links I think are useful from this website:
