This site is so wonderful and full of thoughtful and brilliant people. I want to teach grammar to esl learners. I am a native speaker and college grad.  While I understand and communicate well in English I have difficulty explaining grammar rules. Are there any books or courses(short of going back to school for a graduate degree) that would help me understand grammar in a way that I could then teach it?
