I would recommend starting with this: 16 Esperanto Rules
This will give you a quick start in knowing what an Esperanto sentence looks like.
Then, when you want more depth (but still simplicity!) I would turn to the book "Being Colloquial in Esperanto". It is fairly short and very well explained, and the author provides a free online version: here.
When you're really brave, all the grammar you could ask for is written in Esperanto itself in my favourite (but big!) guide: Plena Manlibro de Esperanta Gramatiko

Most helpful would be a list of the essential terms used in explanation of Esperanto grammar. There won't be that many terms in the list. I leave it to others to make suggestions.
Be aware the PMEG has its own non-traditional terms for some of the concepts.

Cxu vi scias pri Subjekto-Verbo-Objekto?
It is a very crucial concept in linguisics.
Gxi estas tre grava koncepto en lingvistiko.
For example:
I killed him.
'I' is the subject here as 'I' is the one doing the action.
'Killed' is the verb, or the action being done.
'Him' is the object as 'him' is the one on the receiving end of the action.
In Esperanto, this would be translated to:
Mi mortigitas lin.
We add the suffix '-n' to a noun or a pronoun to denote that it's the object.
