MS Word - Grammar Check

Grammar Check in Microsoft Word helps users identify grammatical mistakes and improve sentence structure. It goes beyond spelling to analyze how words are arranged, making writing clearer, more accurate and more professional.

How Grammar Check Works
Word analyzes sentences using built-in language rules and writing patterns. When a possible grammar issue is detected, it is underlined and flagged for review. This process runs automatically as users type.

Types of Grammar Issues Detected
Grammar Check can identify problems such as incorrect verb tense, subject–verb disagreement, improper punctuation and sentence fragments. It also highlights style-related issues that affect readability and clarity.

Reviewing Grammar Suggestions
Users can accept suggested corrections, ignore them or review alternative suggestions. This gives full control over final wording and ensures changes match the writer’s intent.

Adjusting Grammar Sensitivity
Word allows users to adjust how strictly grammar rules are applied. This is useful for different writing styles, such as formal reports versus casual notes. Customizing sensitivity improves relevance of suggestions.

Why Grammar Check Is Important
Grammar Check improves writing quality, professionalism and comprehension. It helps writers communicate ideas clearly and reduces the need for extensive manual proofreading, especially in long or important documents.
