Are there any recommended free add-ons/plugins that act as advanced grammar checkers or preferred modern usage checkers that anyone on the forum can recommend?

I'm not sure what I'm looking for specifically, but a Ms Word user at school said he uses some sentence checkers that don't come with the standard Ms Word, but couldn't remember what it was called.


Does anyone have any recommendations?

First, Word should come with a grammar checker. Some releases of Word 2016 do not because of Microsoft arrogance. They may be included in an update at some point.

You could check out Grammarly for Office. There is a free version that should meet your needs.

Thank you.

I do have a working grammar checker on Word, but it wasn't catching all the things that I could catch. Grammarly is now catching everything that I catch, to the point where I can't find mistakes that Grammarly didn't see.


This is a very good addition.


Edit: If there are any recommendations of other things people like, I am all ears. I am playing around here.
