Thanks for this excellent website! It is outstanding. As an experienced English teacher who is new to ESL, it is invaluable. Especially helpful are the uncomplicated explanations of grammar and the logical links to related topics. It is always easy to find what I need by using plain English in the search window. Overall, I don’t need to wade through lengthy explanations which waste time. Thank you very much!
