Grammarly: AI for Writing Better, Not Cheating

Grammarly is AI for writing. It catches grammar mistakes, suggests clearer sentences, and even checks tone. Most schools allow it (it is more like spell-check than ChatGPT).

Some examples

• Grammar check: catches comma splices, run-ons, agreement errors.
• Clarity suggestions: 'this sentence is wordy — try this shorter version.'
• Tone detector: tells you if your email sounds rude when you meant friendly.
• Plagiarism checker: tells you if your writing matches anything online (worth knowing before submitting).

Try it!

Run your latest writing through Grammarly. Notice what it catches. Decide which suggestions to take and which to ignore — your voice matters.

Practice this safely

Try this with a school, hobby, or family example where the stakes are low. Use the AI output as a draft you can question, not as the final answer.
