I have learnt Hiragana and Katakana. Now I would like to learn some basic grammar in order to make an complete sentence, that'd be, some verbs or particles, personal pronouns, etc... I don't see any grammar notes or grammar lessons in this site. Am i blind or Am i correct? xD

The best free resource I know of on the Internet is the following site:
http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar
Sentence examples are written using kanji, but if you point to a word with your mouse, a tooltip will be displayed with the pronunciation in hiragana.
That having been said, you really should get yourself a textbook if you're serious about learning the language. I can recommend several; the one I learned most from when I was beginning was "Japanese for Everyone" (published by Gakken; not to be confused with "Minna no nihongo").
Thank you! And, as a suggestion, I would love to have some grammar here in this site!
- I don't think it's a practical suggestion.
Something interactive having to do with grammar is extremely hard to implement; you won't find much of that anywhere.
Providing a useful reference for or introduction to grammar is a very large project. It makes more sense to go to a website where a large amount of effort has already been put into that than to try to add it here. Beeantさん already has a lot to do maintaining this site and adding new content and functionality to it. I think it is best for the site to continue to focus on the things it does well, and not to try to be all things to all people. - I agree with you =). I reckon when everything here is settled and working perfectly, Beeant may consider about this putting some grammar too.
Yes, grammar has been in JCJP milestone for a long time. I've been thinking about how to implement them from lessons to tests. I got some few ideas from there. I would like to try to implement them right away, but it takes time. And there are a lot of other tasks to do to improve JCJP. I wish that I can put more of my time and focus on JapaneseClass.jp.
To speed up the development of JCJP, please give your support by using JCJP and consider to donate.- Thank you Beeant!
- Well, if you're determined to do it, more power to you, beeantさん!
One idea for a multiple choice grammar exercise is to write a simple phrase consisting of a 名詞, a 助詞 and a 動詞 or 形容詞, and then give some incorrect choices by substituting the wrong 助詞. (In some cases, wrong choices could be offered for one of the other words, as well.)
For example: "like Japanese (the language)"
Correct answer: 日本語が好き
Incorrect answers: 日本語は好き、日本語を好き、日本が好き
"Have a cat"
Correct answer: 猫を飼う
Incorrect answers: 猫がいる、猫を持つ、猫を買う、猫は飼う
- Another exercise could test the use of the right measure word and the sound changes with various numbers:
Example: "There are three cats"
Correct answer: ねこがさんびきいる
Incorrect answers: ねこがさんひきいる、ねこがさんぴきいる、ねこがさんびきある
