Whether you write in school, at work, on the Internet and social media, I suggest you make sure your writing is clear and free of mistakes. Grammar checkers can help, as well as a software I highly suggest is Grammarly. This article will introduce it and discuss some of its benefits.

What is Grammarly?

Grammarly is a software that checks spelling and grammar for just about anything typed on the Web or on a computer.

What are its benefits?

It provides many benefits to people who write often. Some of them include:

Some include:

  • Forcing people to think

As writers type, it underlines words or phrases that may not have been used right. This allows writers to check their work as they write. Hopefully, they’ll pick up on a few things that will help them improve their writing in the process.

  • It detects passive voice

If the writer types something the passive voice (for example “the ball was thrown by me” instead of “I threw the ball, “) it will catch the mistake and suggest that the writer changes it.

  • It gives writers options

Writers have a few different options they can take advantage of. In basic mode, and Grammarly checks to make sure spelling is correct for the context. It also checks for grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and style. It also gives writers the option to select plagiarism so they can learn if they’ve accidentally used someone else’s words. It also has a feature that highlights vague words and suggests stronger words that clarify the meaning of the sentence.

  • Use it anywhere

Writers can use it to check grammar and usage in emails and social media posts. Writers can also use it in essays and reports they type in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

  • It provides professional proofreading options.

If the writer still wants someone else to look at their writing and make sure it’s clear, they can send their work to a professional proofreader. There is a charge for this service, but it may be worth it depending on the situation.

Keep in mind, the suggestions provided aren’t hard and fast. Writers still have to decide if they’ll work for what they’re writing. If their teacher or boss wants the report written a certain way, the provided suggestions may not apply.
