Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!
Yeah, something without exercises would be good, although I could always just skip the exercises. @lingoleng: I may study German, but I certainly can't read books in German. I'm a total noob in that language. I'm thinking a reference book would be best. I do know quite a bit about grammar already. I'm just looking to get the finer points. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Another idea might be to find something similar to English Grammar for Students of Spanish. As you aren't studying Spanish, you probably wouldn't want this particular book, but maybe a similar book has been published in one of your target languages?
The books features concise explanations of all the basic grammatical concepts and compares/contrasts English structures with their equivalent (or nearly equivalent) Spanish structures. I haven't worked through it yet, but the nice thing about this book is that it will allow me to kill two birds with one stone. Update: I checked Amazon and they also offer English Grammar for Students of German and English Grammar for Students of French in this series.
