How to Check English Grammar with Grammarly

Tap through each step below to see exactly how it works.

  1. Install the Grammarly Browser Extension

    Install the Grammarly extension from your browser's extension store and create an account.

  2. Watch It Check Automatically as You Write

    Grammarly's icon appears anywhere you type text -- in an email client, a document editor, a social post -- and checks it in real time.

  3. Click an Underlined Word or Phrase to See Suggestions

    Grammar and spelling issues are underlined; clicking one shows a suggested correction.

  4. Accept or Dismiss Each Suggestion

    Accept a suggestion you agree with to apply it instantly, or dismiss it if you'd rather keep your original wording.

  5. Why It's Useful

    When you're writing in English, it flags grammar mistakes and awkward phrasing in real time, helping your writing come across as more natural and professional.

A Safety Net for Writing in a Non-Native Language

Writing a professional email or document in a language you didn't grow up speaking always carries some uncertainty, and having grammar and phrasing checked in real time takes a lot of that anxiety out of the process.

Free vs. Premium

The free tier catches basic grammar and spelling errors, while the paid Premium tier adds deeper suggestions around sentence structure, tone, clarity, and plagiarism detection -- worth considering if you write in English regularly for work.
