Yahoo Answers is definitely not a good source for improving your grammar. As a general rule, I would say this is true of most of the internet. News sites or other official type sights might be the exceptions.
I would recommend reading books and short stories. If you read quietly aloud, you can even improve your pronunciation somewhat, although the spelling of English can be quite confusing.
Some words are spelled the same but pronounced differently depending on their meaning. Ex: read, wound, wind, bow, etc. It is all very illogical, and I would like to see the spelling reformed. But I doubt it will happen soon.
I would recommend the short stories of Arthur Conan Doyle. They are almost all good, but my favorite are the Sherlock Holmes short stories. Edgar Allen Poe wrote some very good ones too, but you must be selective. O. Henry is probably the best known short story writer in the English language, but he wrote over 600 stories, so many aren't any good.
If you have a library nearby, they might even have some of these books in English.
