Here are some useful sites where you can check and practise grammar structures:
http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar
(from here you can also access reading and other resources)
There is also:
http://vivquarry.com/wkshts/
e.g. http://vivquarry.com/wkshts/linkwd2.html
and
http://esl.about.com/od/writingadvanced/a/wc_addition.htm
but for me the best sites are:
Exam English ✓Free Practice Tests for learners of English
http://examenglish.com/cambridge_esol.php
for lots of free practice material at different levels (more later about
this)
e.g. https://www.examenglish.com/grammar/index.html
and
BBC
Learning English
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish new address
and http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/general/
old address, not updated but still
active.
you should explore the site. For example, 6-minute English:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/general/sixminute/
is for listening practice and dictation
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/intermediate
is for grammar, vocabulary and
pronunciation at intermediate level
http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/upper-intermediate
is for the same at upper-intermediate
level
but you can also explore the old site
for these elements
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/
