How can I check my grammar and vocabulary by myself?
There are a couple of things you can do to evaluate your grammar and vocabulary by yourself:
1. Be honest with yourself.
- Are you 100% sure you know how to use a certain word? If not, use a dictionary and Google to do some research and check.
- Are you 100% sure you used the correct preposition/article/verb tense? If not, go do some research and check.
2. Use spell check and Grammarly in MS Word.
- Type your essay in Word with the spell check and Grammarly off. After you're finished, turn both on and see how many mistakes you made. (Don't trust Grammarly completely. It's not perfect, and it is particularly bad at suggesting grammar for generalising.)
