Why grammar matters — even for native speakers

Research consistently shows that grammar errors reduce credibility. A survey by Global Lingo found that 59% of people would not use a company with obvious grammar mistakes on its website. For job applications, poorly written emails, or academic submissions, grammar errors can be the difference between success and rejection.

Even native English speakers make consistent mistakes — it's/its confusion, misplaced apostrophes, subject-verb disagreement, and run-on sentences are among the most common. A grammar checker catches these automatically so you don't have to memorize every rule.

10 most common grammar mistakes to watch for

1.

Their / There / They're

"Their" is possessive. "There" is a place. "They're" = they are.

2.

Its / It's

"Its" is possessive. "It's" = it is.

3.

Your / You're

"Your" is possessive. "You're" = you are.

4.

Effect / Affect

"Effect" is usually a noun. "Affect" is usually a verb.

5.

Then / Than

"Then" refers to time. "Than" is used for comparisons.

6.

Fewer / Less

Use "fewer" for countable things ("fewer apples"), "less" for uncountable ("less sugar").

7.

Who / Whom

"Who" is a subject. "Whom" is an object. Replace with he/him: if "him" works, use "whom".

8.

Dangling modifiers

"Walking to school, the rain started" → "Walking to school, I got caught in the rain."

9.

Apostrophe in plurals

"Apple's" is wrong for a plural. "Apples" is correct.

10.

Run-on sentences

Two independent clauses need a period, semicolon, or conjunction between them.

Is the grammar checker completely free?

Yes. The grammar checker is free with no daily limits and no account required. It uses the open-source LanguageTool engine.

Does it work for academic writing?

Yes — it catches the grammar and spelling errors that matter in academic work. However, it doesn't check for citation style (APA, MLA, etc.) or plagiarism.

Is my text stored or shared?

No. Your text is sent to the LanguageTool API for analysis and not stored. ToolSnap does not save, log, or share any text you check.

How long can the text be?

Free users can check up to 10,000 characters at once. For longer documents, split the text into sections.

Does it check for plagiarism?
