I teach ESL in a foreign country. As a native speaker, I have a strong intuitive grasp of English grammar, but I often find it difficult to explain grammar concepts to my students (or other teachers). Can someone recommend a website(s) that can aid me? Preferably, the site should be searchable (so, if I, for example, want to look up how to use "just" in a sentence, or want to research determiners, I can find the information easily). And I mean a website with information already available (in reference/tutorial form), not a website where I can post specific grammar questions (of which I already know a few).

what kind of sentence does this lady face?

I was coming home from work monday night and witnessed a very bad accident. The woman in the story (below) recklessly blew through a red light doing atleast 60-65 mph and blind sided a car.I called 911 and was the first person to approach the poor woman who was blind sided.She was in bad shape and I knew she was not going to make it.It was very troublesome to witness it and even more troubling that I knew I could do nothing for her. The woman who blew through the light with total disregard is being charged with vehicular homicide.What kind of sentence is probable in this situation? It happened in New Jersey.

I'm afraid I'm gonna loose my babies!!!?

My ex husband and I are going thru a custody battle right now with our 4 year old son, 2 year old daughter and our 12 week old daughter that was born 9 months after our divorce. I wasn't faithful to my husband and after our divorce I went a little crazy in the man department for a few months. My attorney seems to think that because of my promiscuity and because my ex is remarried with a great job and a big house that I will loose my kids to him. What do you guys think?

Is this considered a crime? Can this man be charged?

My husband answered an ad to buy a car. He went to go and see the car and got the man to agree to a price (the ad said the man was an individual, turns out he is a car dealer).

My husband went back to work and called me to discuss whether we had the cash to buy the car ... we did. So he calls the guy up and says yeah, we have the cash, can we make a deal today? The guy says sure. My husband then says okay, bring the title, a receipt for the cash and the car and I'll bring the cash.

The man says welllll, he doesn't have the title, he has to get it from the dealership he bought it from, once he pays them for it. Says it will be about a week. He claims he works for consignment, that they release used cars to him to sell. Says we can call the "wholesale manager" at the dealership and confirm. Since my husband is a mechanic and knows the folks at this particular dealership, he asks the guy "then what's the name of the general sales manager" (even though he already knows) and

is it possible to really say god doesnt exist??

if the idea ofgod is in the head of someone how can anyone else say it doesnt exist??
reality is measured by self cognition not by general consensus...in that way we all should agree that memories dont exist??? and when i say memories i dont mean the fact the memories recall but the personal impression an experience left on someone...
god exists as long as one person believes since no one in here is a god and can limit and trace the boundaries of reality...Are thoughts real? if so the same authority that makes them real makes the thought of god real
I am philosophical today, normally i am more an anti christian agnostic with atheist tendencies...
now that i think of it we maybe should talk about an internal reality and an external one...but can we say an external reality exists?? since an external reality is just what we can perceive through our senses then subject to our perception and therefore only exists because we perceive it , same as god.

Does faith in God help you overcome obstacles better?

And Jesus looking upon then said, with men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible. Mark 10:27

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. It is not enough that a thing be possible for it to be believed.
Voltaire

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much.
Mother Teresa

Suggest some good reads?

Well I read a lot, I'm 15 and i like most of the popular stuff (ie HP, twilight series, the clique, gossip girl, the it girl, alex rider series, 1-800-where-r-u etc.) and I've read all the books in those series, now i'm kind of looking for just books, not really series cause i get too hooked on em.
so any suggestions would be great (and I've read all the rachel hawthorne books too) thanks!

High Blood Pressure....at what point is medication needed?

Most of my life my b.p. has been normal, really perfect. Twice now it has been high, once a few years ago from a medication interaction that lowered my sodium dangerously, and my b.p kept going up, and the past month or so its been high.

Generally I was only getting it checked when in the Dr.s office for other things, like an ear infection or my annual exams. In the past two months, there have been three visits, and all three were high. This past time, they actually kept me for a couple of hours to keep taking it, gave me something to lower it, and sent me home with instructions to take it twice a day for a week. Its now 162/110, after just hanging out with my dogs on a sunny afternoon in the backyard. I thought it may be another medication thing, since I have been taking Allegra or Zyrtec the past few months for allergies and ear problems, but I haven't taken them for two days and its going up. Any ideas?
