Grammarly has become a useful writing tool for students, bloggers, professionals, and other people who want to improve their writing. It can help identify writing mistakes, improve clarity, and provide suggestions while still allowing writers to decide which changes they want to make. In this guide, I will look at how Grammarly can improve your writing and the different ways you can use it.

There are various writing issues that many students face. These include:

1. Grammar and punctuation errors

Such as mistakes with commas and run-on sentences. A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined together without the correct punctuation or connecting words. Contrary to popular belief, a run-on sentence isn’t just a long sentence; it is a sentence with an incorrect grammatical structure, no matter how short it is.

Fused Sentences (No Punctuation)

This happens when two complete thoughts are smashed together with absolutely no punctuation between them.

Incorrect: “I love baking cakes my sister prefers making cookies.”

Correct: “I love baking cakes; my sister prefers making cookies.”

Incorrect: “Drive fast we are late.”

Correct: “Drive fast; we are late.”

Comma Splices (Incorrect Punctuation)

This occurs when two complete thoughts are connected by only a comma. A comma by itself is not strong enough to hold two independent clauses together.

Incorrect: “The sun is shining today, I think I will go for a walk.”

Correct: “The sun is shining today. I think I will go for a walk.”
