Websites for practicing grammar?

I need a good website in which to practice my grammar on. I like sites that have multiple choice tests and quizzes. Could you provide links to a few?

Grammar question again. . . . .

Should it be:

Do you mind my asking you whether you're old enough to drink.

or . . . .

Do you mind me asking you whether you're old enough to drink.

I believe it should be:

Do you mind my asking you whether you're old enough to drink.

I'll explain:

If you ask the person, "Do you mind ME asking you whether you're old enough to drink," then it sounds as if you're asking them, "Do you mind ME?" (i.e. Do you like me?) If you say, "Do you mind my asking you whether you're old enough to drink?" then there's no confusion. It's obvious that you're asking them whether they mind your asking them a question.

This sentence confuses me . . . .

I am studying grammar online and this sentence was correct on the site, but I don't think so:

It's you who don't know the facts of the case.

But, this makes sense:

You don't know the facts of the case.

Shouldn't the sentence be stated like this instead?

It's you who doesn't know the facts of the case.

This always bothered me. Came and go.

This sentence doesn't make sense to me:

I want to come to your house to visit you.

Why wouldn't it be:

I want to go to your house to visit you.

The person isn''t coming, but going.

Please pray for me!

The nabe kids are torturing and abusing me. Please pray that they'll stop bothering me and getting into my yard and harassing me. I'm terrifed! Thank you.

I hurt my back years ago in a car accident. My back has been getting worse over the years. Today I can barely walk and I'm scared. I don't know how I'll take care of myself if I can't walk. I'm just lying on the sofa all day.
