How It Works

Paste your text into the editor. The checker scans for common grammatical patterns, subject-verb agreement errors, and frequently confused words, highlighting issues with suggested corrections.

**Grammar Checker — Write Correctly Every Time**

Grammar errors undermine your credibility whether you're writing an email to a client, a blog post, or an academic paper. ToolVerse's Grammar Checker catches the most common mistakes that spell-checkers miss — agreement errors, wrong word choices, punctuation mistakes, and more.

**What It Checks**

- **Subject-verb agreement** — "He don't know" → "He doesn't know"
- **Apostrophe errors** — "Its" vs "It's", "Your" vs "You're"
- **Homophone confusion** — There/Their/They're, Affect/Effect, Than/Then
- **Double negatives** — "I don't have no time"
- **Comma splices** — Two independent clauses joined only by a comma
- **Run-on sentences** — Sentences that are too long and need breaking up
- **Passive voice** — Flagged (not an error, but often overused)
- **Redundant phrases** — "Past history", "future plans", "end result"

**Common Grammar Mistakes Explained**

*Apostrophes* are one of the most misused punctuation marks. Use an apostrophe to show possession ("John's book") or contraction ("it's" = "it is"). Never use "it's" for possession — the possessive form is "its" (no apostrophe).

*Affect vs. Effect* — "Affect" is usually a verb ("The rain affected the game"). "Effect" is usually a noun ("The effect of the rain was significant"). The mnemonic: RAVEN — Remember Affect Verb, Effect Noun.

*Then vs. Than* — "Then" relates to time ("We ate, then we left"). "Than" is used in comparisons ("She is taller than him").

**When to Use a Grammar Checker**

- Before sending professional emails or business proposals.
- Before publishing blog posts or website content.
- Before submitting academic work.
- When editing content written by non-native English speakers.

Passive voice is when the subject receives the action (\"The ball was kicked\") rather than performing it (\"She kicked the ball\"). Passive voice isn't wrong, but overuse makes writing feel weak.
