Hi Bill,

Don't know of any good online tutorial services, but if the person in question 
wanted to do it, I could give him online personalised grammar tutorials at a 
negotiated rate of payment.  I am very experienced in teaching/tutoring grammar 
- including to EFL students.

Hi Austechies,

Today I met an Indian engineer who has been in Australia for four
years (arrived without a scrap of English) and is seeking ways of
improving his English grammar.   Are there any decent on-line tutorial
sources he might go to?

There's a bit of basic stuff at http://esl.about.com/ and more particularly, perhaps, pointers to a series of different resources.... many of them free.... I would urge your friend to note, however, that speaking is the best way to learn a language, and the resources that encourage that, or at least deal with conversational dialogues, are the best way to go. If the truth is told, most of us native speakers survive with only a vague idea of the formal grammar and some of its odd and usually breakable rules. ( I know Geoffrey comes up with some very strange words sometimes to describe the words we use... ... god knows where he gets them from....)
