Hello. This is Jack from tofluency.com and in this video, I'm going to show
you a free tool that you can use to help you improve your writing and also your
grammar. If you are learning English and you want to write in English, then it's wise
to use a spell checker, however, most spell checkers are very basic; they only
give you feedback on words that you misspelled. However, the tool I'm going to
show you gives you feedback on your writing and it helps you improve your
grammar too, and the best way for you to understand how beneficial this tool is, is
for me to show you a few examples. Here we are inside the grammarly app and I'm
going to type in three incorrect sentences to show you how Grammarly can
give you feedback on incorrect English. So, the first one... I'm just going to put "he
have done it." So, you probably recognize the mistake but it's gonna show you how it
changes this for you. So, you can see over here it's suggesting to change have to has
and we can click to change the verb form.
We can also expand the card and it gives us information about the mistake: "It
appears that the subject pronoun he and the verb have are not in agreement.
Consider changing the verb." And we can click here and it changes it for us. The next
one I'm going to show you is about a preposition. He told to me that he did it.
Okay. So, we'll see what happens here when I type in this incorrect sentence... What it
says... two things: Possibly confused say and tell.
So, in this case, it's giving us a variation we can change told me
to said to me and it's also telling us that it's a possibly redundant
preposition. It appears that the proposition to may be unnecessary in this context.
So, you can review the information and decide whether to delete it and if you
click More then it gives us lots of examples and an explanation about the
proposition to. So in this case, I'm going to delete the to and have it here:
He told me that he did it. And the final one, I'm going to show you a comparison - the
first conditional - and this is a mistake I see happen a lot: if we will leave now
we will get there on time. We'll see what happens in this case. so it's just checking
and it's going to give us the issue - and again it's telling us that we change
will leave to leave - click to remove the modal and we can expand the card and it
gives us an explanation: the sentence appears to incorrectly phrase the future
real conditional. Consider removing the modal verb will. So we can do that and it
does it for us. So, these are just three examples of how Grammarly can help and I
want to show you a couple of other things too, because it doesn't only help your
grammar and your writing, it can also help you with plagiarism. What this does
is it finds unoriginal text by checking
against a database of over eight billion web pages - so if you're writing something
that's really important or if you're marking something for your learners, then
you can check to see if it's plagiarized. There's also vocabulary
enhancement as well - this gives you suggestions to help you vary your
vocabulary - this is very beneficial as well - and finally, here, you can send (it) to
a professional to get proof reading. This is obviously a paid thing and this is an
add-on if you want to do this, but it's not necessary in most cases. So, as you
just saw Grammarly gives you great feedback on your writing but not only that, it
helps you improve your grammar. This is really beneficial it's going to help you
improve your English - and the more you write t- he more you use this tool - the
better you will get. If you download the browser extension it works in your email
in social media and any other application that you use, so, it means you
can constantly check your writing;
constantly get feedback on your writing using this tool. So, click the link to
check out gramley there is a free and a paid option available, and please let me
know if this tool helps you... and if it does help you please share this video.
