English is not my language, i use Grammarly to correct mistakes like Grammer,commas,fullstops or spelling errors. Sometimes Grammarly will mark a word red to show it`s wrong but l cant figure out what`s wrong with the said word.Like in this post, l already have 7 faults shown but l can`t figure what`s wrong. Do you use Grammarly to improve your writing?

I've never used it, but I can see how helpful it would be to non-native English speakers.

Yes I use it when I do my articles for my freelance job. You have to scroll down at the right to see what the mistakes are. The only downside, you need to pay for the premium versions that let's you see the other grammar mistakes. That's going to take a while for me.

@rina110383 Makes writing easier as you see the mistakes before you publish so you can choose to change or just ignore them

Yes, I have been using Grammarly for the last few months. Since the computer problems I haven't put the button back on my browser but I use it when I write an article before submitting it. It would send me a weekly summary for a while too. That was interesting.

@miniam I find I make more now that I'm getting older - and my spelling isn't as good as it used to be either. And I keep writing can instead of can't and do instead of don't which isn't a good thing either. It totally changes the meaning.

@miniam I have a few others that I use for plagiarism. As long as it's free, I don't mind using them. Although the other day, one said I had plagiarism in my writing so I checked at two other ones that showed I was clean. Very strange!

I am English and my spelling and grammar is pretty good, so I don't use a checker. My typos tend to be caused by myLot. Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. As for your 7 mistakes, I think they mainly not leaving a space after your commas, or adding one before the apostrophes.

And for such mistakes, i need grammarly because honestly, i will not see them

not heard of Grammarly before. i use a basic spellcheck/grammar check on longer posts I write but if it works for you that's great
