English Grammar Terms & Expressions

In order to clearly explain the way English grammar works, we need a clear understanding of the terms and expressions used to talk about grammar. The following websites are online glossaries for expressions used to talked about English grammar. They have easy to understand definitions and even often a few examples. If you (or a student) gets stumped over just how to explain what a dangling modifier or elliptical clause is, try consulting one of these sites.

I've also listed them on the right side of the website, under the 'Grammar' links.
