Comments: You have been an invaluable help to me. We are working on a history book for our town and arguments come up about how something should be done. I just e-mail you the question and you solve the problem! Frankly, I don't know what I'd do if you weren't there! Thank you so much for the great service you provide.

Dear Ms.April, I found your site useful to a certain extent. Please include

more rules on grammar. I teach students for all grades with grammar.

I teach students from the US. I want to now the names of some Very good

Authoritative Grammar Books for me to read and teach from them.

For example, as far as British English goes, the book "Wren and Martin"

is considered as an authority. In the same manner, please suggest an

authoritative text as far as American Grammar is concerned. Thank you.

Love and Hugs. S.Vanamali
