HELP USING THE ONLINE ENGLISH GRAMMAR

• How do I find what I am looking for?
• What is the difference between the free online version and the premium version?
• Are there different versions of the Online English Grammar - for business, for example?
• I can't get the interactive tests and exercises to work?
• We want to have a copy of the Grammar on our own website - is this possible?
• Because I have a slow connection I want to store the OEG off-line- can I?
• Do you have an affiliate system for the Online English Grammar?
• Who can I contact if I have a question?

1.Finding what you are looking for

There are several ways you can try to locate a specific grammar point or subject:

1. Use the Contents or Subject Index Page - you will see links to these in the navigation bar at the top of each page
2. Use the alphabetical finder - also at the top of each page. The finder will look for items in several 'layers' of the contents database that begin with the letter that you selected
3. Use a keyword search - the keyword search box searches through the text of all pages in the grammar. This is not always the best way to search as, given that the Online Grammar is written in English, you may be searching for a common string that is both a grammatical point in the grammar as well as a very frequently used word in examples and explanations (e.g. 'the' , 'and' or 'as')

2.Using the Interactive Tests and Games

The interactive tests and games use Macromedia's Flash™ plug-in. This is a free plugin that is pre-installed in the majority of browsers (nearly all Microsoft and Netscape Version 4 and above browsers have it already installed). If you find that you cannot access the tests and exercises or that the page loads but that it stays blank then go to http://www.macromedia.com and download and install the latest version of the Flash Player. It is free and quick and easy to download install.

3. Copying the OEG for use off-line

The Online English Grammar (web version) is copyright and you don't legally have the right to store it on your computer or to print it out for distribution (see Terms and Conditions). You can print out selected pages for your own personal use or for use with your students. If you would like the complete version which runs on your desktop machine, portable or network and which has an automatic update facility so that it remains up to date with the new exercises and tests we develop then click on the 'Full Version' button in the navigation bar.
