Grammar Checker
Check grammar and spelling
Frequently Asked Questions
What grammar errors does the checker detect?
Subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, comma splices, run-on sentences, dangling modifiers, misplaced apostrophes, pronoun-antecedent agreement, double negatives, and sentence fragments. The tool highlights errors with explanations and suggested corrections.
Can the grammar checker fix punctuation errors?
Yes. It detects: missing commas, incorrect semicolons, misused apostrophes (its vs it's), missing periods, incorrect quotation marks, and Oxford comma inconsistency. Each suggestion includes the rule explanation so you learn while correcting.
Does the grammar checker work for academic writing?
Yes. Select "academic" mode for stricter rules: no contractions, formal tone, passive voice warnings, citation format checks, and hedging language suggestions. The tool adapts its rules to match academic writing conventions.
How is this different from a spell checker?
Spell checkers find misspelled words. Grammar checkers analyze sentence structure, word usage, and punctuation. "Their going too the store" passes spell check but has two grammar errors (their→they're, too→to). The tool catches both types of errors.
Can I check grammar in languages other than English?
The tool supports: English (US, UK, Australian), Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch. Each language has its own grammar rules and suggestions. Select your language and regional variant for accurate checking.
