I think the best website Grammar is BBC Grammar, because it has games, quizes, factsheets and worksheets. I also liked Grammar Bytes and Grammar Games from British Council. The other ones are funny, but easy.

Diana, I think you did a very nice job.
I liked your questions and the Segiu Terentii's answers.
It was really easy to read this piece because of the way you adjusted it.

Dear participants, please read carefully the rules for the project and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
* Videos should not be longer than five minutes, with two to three minutes ideal.
* Videos should contain no copyrighted content. If music is in the video, it should be by someone (ideally, one of the project team) who has given permission for its use. Participants are encouraged to consider recording their own music for videos.
* It is preferred that videos not identify any participants by students' real names. Please tell about your community without identifying yourselves personally; this is done for the protection of all participants.
* Videos should be in .mov, .wmv, .avi, or .mpg formats.
* The script for all audio should be typed in an .rtf document so that those with hearing difficulties will be able to enjoy what you create

1. I learned many way to study English
2. Wiki was useful, but when I posted something, it was so difficult to find posted
3. I was not used to Wiki when I started my class. I think, we need more description when we start class
4. Of course, I need to study until I speak English fluently
5. Thank you for your teaching.
Above all, you understood weakness of international student grammar.

sorry ~ I'm so late to write opinion about tthis class
1. I'm not bored while I have been taking a class. and I didn't do good at enhlish gramma before taking this class. but I know what is different something between' have been ing" and" have been ed like" that . Also I can use for speaking " have been ing " and " have been ed".Before I know these thing , I always used " only present tense" ....
2. I think it was very useful. and It doesnt difficult to find website and was easy. I'm worried when you said at first class " we use website to improve some english gramma "
Because I didnt good at computer .
3 . I think you will not need to change something ... I was good
4. sure.. I will use it in the future to study toefl ... I think I'm lucky to know this site.
5. thank you .. you are good teacher... I know sometimes you were dissapointed our attitude . but you understood and did your best to teach us .. I appreciated ... I'm lucky to be taught english from you

1. I could deepen my knowledge of grammar. To study about 'difference' between specific topic was useful to me. It was more easier to remeber
For instance, 'will vs be going to' 'have lived vs have been living'......
2. I think that the class wasn't boring because of this Wiki website. If we used only text book, it would be a little bit boring. And it was not that difficult
to use web site.
3. I have no idea.
4. I think so. I might be able to remind the grammar topic through this wiki.
5. Thank you for teaching. I'm appreciated.

1. We can delete relative pronouns that function as objects in objects in restrictive relative clauses
2. We can only delete relative pronouns that function as subjects in restrictive relative clauses that contain be. In such cases both the relative pronoun and be are deleted.

Past simple shows that a past event has no direct, ongoing relationship to the present. The event was completed in the past or happened at a specific time in the past.
Present Perfect Simple shows that a past event has direct, ongoing relationship to the present. The past event affects the present situation.

We use the present perfect progressive tense instead of present perfect with the following types of activities:
2. Temporary rather than permanent.
3. Repeated rather than a single occurrence.
4. Continuous rather than repeated or recurring.
5. Uncompleted rather than completed.
Nonprogressive verbs do not occur with the progressive aspect even when they refer to continuous states.

Which That
It is used after impersonal constructions.
It is a Non-Restrictive clause. It is a Restrictive clause.
It can be used with ‘,(comma)’ It can’t be used with ‘,(comma)’
To explain specific information, comma is not used Clause that refer back to the words, nothing, something, or everything
To explain specific information, comma is used Clauses that follow a superlative also tend to prefer that
Examples
The house, which is painted pink, has just been sold. The house that is painted pink has just been sold.
A suitcase which has lost its handle is useless.
-The cup which he stepped on is in the bin.
-The cup, which he stepped on, is in the bin “Can you think of anything that still has to be done?”

WHICH VERSUS THAT
By: ,
Apr 11 2008, 10:41 AM EDT
That - used in restrictive relative clauses:
The house that is painted pink has just been sold.
In the first one, the clause “that is painted pink” is a restrictive clause, because it limits the scope of the word “house”, indicating that the writer doesn’t mean any house, only the one that has been painted in that particular colour; if he takes that clause out, all that’s left is The house has just been sold: the reader no longer knows which house is being referred to and the sentence loses some crucial information.
Which - is used with non-restrictive:
The house, which is painted pink, has just been sold.
the writer is giving additional information about a house he’s describing; the clause which is painted pink is here parenthetical — the writer is saying “by the way, the house is painted pink” as an additional bit of information that’s not essential to the meaning and could be taken out.
Here’s another example:
Another cause of stress is a traumatic event that is out of the ordinary and has a major impact on the person’s life.
The clause is restrictive.
Restrictive clauses are introduced by that and are not separated from the rest of the sentence by commas.
Non-restrictive clauses are introduced by which and must be separated by commas from the rest of the sentence to indicate parenthesis.

A man called Peter, who lived in Seoul for ten years, took an airplane, which was very not good, to
New York to visit his sister, who was a little bit cute. When he arrived at the airport, that was so dirty, an old
man, who likes only young girls, asked him a question. Peter gave a short reply and the man invited him
for a drink, which is famous in Korea. Peter accepted, and after he had the drink, he caught the airplane to
the city of New York, which he wanted to visit since he was a kid. When he got to his sister's apartment, his
sister invited him into the living room, which made him uncomfortable. As he entered the room, he was
surprised to see the same man he met in the airport.

DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES
A defining relative clause gives essential information about the noun or noun phrase it modifies, without which the sentence wouldn't make sense as the listener or reader would not be able to identify the noun in the sentence:
The hotel that we stayed in wasn't bad. ('that we stayed in' tells the listener which hotel we are talking about; it defines the hotel)
'Who', 'whose' and 'that' can be used for people.
'Which' 'whose' and 'that' can be used for things.
NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES
A non-defining relative clause gives extra information about a noun or noun phrase and has commas at both ends:
My sister, who lives in France, is coming to stay with me next week. ('who lives in France' is not essential, which means that I only have one sister and she does not need to be defined by the relative clause)
'Who' and 'whose' are used for people.
'Which' and 'whose' are used for things.
'That' cannot be used in a non-defining relative clause.
