The number of cars are increasing → The number of cars IS increasing. "Number" is singular even when the noun after it is plural. Same with "amount", "team", "group", "majority".
I went to the library, I forgot my book. Two independent clauses joined only by a comma. Fix: use a period, semicolon, or coordinating conjunction (and, but, so).
"Their" = possessive. "There" = location. "They're" = they are. The grammar checker catches obvious cases but won't flag every misuse if the grammar is otherwise valid.
"It's" = it is. "Its" = possessive (no apostrophe). Plural nouns NEVER take apostrophes ("the 1990s", not "the 1990's"). Apostrophe-s indicates ownership or contraction, not a plural.
A sentence that joins multiple complete thoughts without punctuation. "I love writing it's my passion." Fix with a period, semicolon, or conjunction. Run-ons are the most common readability killer in student essays.
"Walking down the street, the building looked tall." Did the building walk? No. Fix: "Walking down the street, I saw the tall building." The modifier should sit next to the noun it describes.
i.e. → not capitalized after a period. e.g. → same. Months and days ARE capitalized. Seasons (spring, summer) are NOT. Compass directions are NOT (north) unless used as a region (the North).
Two independent clauses need a semicolon, period, or coordinating conjunction (and/but/so), not just a comma.
"List" is the subject (singular), not "recommendations". The verb agrees with the head noun, not the noun closest to the verb.
Active voice puts the actor first ("The research team"). Cleaner, more direct, easier to read. Use passive only when the actor is unknown or unimportant.
"He" is ambiguous, does it refer to the CEO or the manager? Replace pronouns with proper nouns when there's any chance of confusion.
Reading aloud catches what your eye skips. Run-ons, awkward phrasing, missing words, all easier to hear than to see.
First pass: spelling. Second pass: punctuation. Third pass: style. Trying to fix everything at once is how you miss things.
Grammar tools are rule-based. They flag violations even when your intentional choice is better. Trust your ear over the tool when you have a reason.
Polishing grammar before you've finished editing for content is wasted work. Get the argument right first; check spelling and punctuation last.
If your readability score is 14+, you're writing in too-long sentences. Pair the grammar checker with our readability tool for the full clarity check.
Don't mix "colour" with "favorize". Pick US or UK English at the start and stick with it. The grammar checker accepts both but doesn't flag mixing.
Grammar errors are the cheapest marks to lose. They have nothing to do with the quality of your argument or research, and yet a paper riddled with them reads as careless and gets graded down accordingly. A two-minute pass through a grammar checker before submitting solves 90% of the issue.
