<< Are there exercises or drills one can use to increase grammar and/or 
Syntax skills?( maybe intermediate or advance grammar exercises.) >>

Some time ago I mentioned that Sidgwick's "Greek Prose Composition" started 
at such an advanced level that it was discouraging. Carl W. Conrad 
responded that "Greek Prose Composition" by North & Hillard was easier. 
I've also found that there is a "Key to Greek Prose Composition" by North & 
Hillard which gives answers to their "Greek Prose Composition." North & 
Hillard reviews a point or two of grammar and then gives some English to 
Greek exercises for one to do. It also has a special vocabulary review for 
each set of exercises. Although I've just started working through the book, 
the exercises appear to graduated -- starting out with very simple 
sentences and gradually becoming more complex. There are 175 exercises 
which roughly contain on average 10 sentences or one paragraph.

FWIW: I'm neither a clergy-person, nor an academic (and I have no post-grad 
degrees).
