Now, I gotta tell you in school, I didn't like school when I was in high school or elementary school or middle school or whatever you would call it. I didn't like it. I didn't like writing. I didn't enjoy it. I do nowadays. I enjoy it a lot nowadays. Let me tell you why I enjoy it nowadays because I'm better at it. And here's the funny thing. You're gonna enjoy doing something if you get better at it. Grammarly will help you get better at it. And I wanna walk you through the five things it's gonna help you with. And I think you're gonna see you're gonna want Grammarly. Now, I've used Grammarly for, gosh, I would say about a good six years maybe, something like that. And it's helped me immensely. And if you don't know what it is, what it does is it looks at what you're writing and it offers suggestions and it finds mistakes for you. And it highlights that mistake as you're writing so that you can correct it. So we're gonna go with number one is Grammarly helps you correct mistakes. Let me put something on the screen here so I can show it to you. Not only are these mistakes highlighted, but they're also color coded according to the following alerts. Correctness, clarity, engagement and delivery. This method of organization makes understanding your mistakes much, much easier. And this is one of the things that Grammarly provides to you. You've gotta get Grammarly. Number two, Grammarly helps you improve your vocabulary, which is super important. You wanna use the right words, right? So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you a sentence and then I'm gonna show you what Grammarly had to say about it. So here's the sentence. The sentence reads, which is very important and solid lifestyle. Okay, it doesn't really make much sense, does it? But Grammarly detected four issues with a sentence and as you see two of them were related to vocabulary. Here are the four problems that were detected. Number one, it's an incomplete sentence or fragment. Okay, it's not a complete thought. Number two, it's missing an article Determor A in the front of vary. And number three, overuse of boring with great suggestion of dull. And number four, overuse of solid with three other suggestions. Now, if you apply to each of these suggestions, the resulting sentence would be greatly improved. So right here, you can see the suggestions to replace solid with the recommended choice marked with a small blue circle. You can see that right there and it's dependable. The word solid is often overused. Consider using a more specific synonym to improve the sharpness of your writing. Grammarly also provides synonyms to help your writing be more engaging. Double click on any word in your document to see a list of synonyms. This feature is a great way to learn new vocabulary. Okay, so we're gonna look at synonyms for father. And this is number one, the originator, publisher, sponsor, author, creator, founder. Number two, a priest, especially a Roman Catholic, angelic and priest. So you got priest, pastor, person, ecclesiatic, Padre, a male parent, a pop, a dad, a daddy, a sire, a pop. So it takes that word and tries to figure out all the different meanings for it. And the meaning you may be used for it could be incorrect or it could give you ideas for other words for that same meaning. Number three, grammarly gives you grammar lesson. It helps you improve your grammar. So what I wanna do is I wanna put an example of a couple words on the screen here and show you what grammarly came back with. So I put up here a very. Now here's what grammarly said. A noun phrase, very boring and solid lifestyle. Okay, so we're going back to that first example. Seems to be missing a determiner before it. Consider adding an article. An article, A and or the, is a type of determiner. Possessive adjectives, my, his, our, possessive nouns, Joe's, mother's and qualifiers, each, every are also determiners. Single countable nouns usually require a determiner. So here's the incorrect one. I left book on table. The correct one would be I left a book on the table or I left the book on a table or I left Bob's book on his table. Here's another incorrect one. Ms. Anderson's school librarian agreed to chaperone the field trip. But the correct one should read, Ms. Anderson, the school librarian agreed to chaperone the field trip. Okay, here's another example. The example is this. He moved to another city. Now, Grammarly provided an accurate correction, but it also explained the correction and gave additional examples. So correctness right here is move to moves. It appears that the subject pronoun he and the verb move are not in agreement. Consider changing the verb. As the subject of a sentence or clause, a personal pronoun can be the first person, I, we, the second person, you, or the third person, he, she, it, they. The same personal pronouns are either singular, such as I, you, he, she, it, or plural, we, you, they. Make sure that the form of the verb agrees with the form of the personal pronoun. So incorrect, they makes a nice couple. Correct would be they make a nice couple. Incorrect, he fixed the car when it break down. Correct, he fixes the car when it breaks down. So you can see how the difference in that really makes it a whole lot easier to read and it makes more sense. Now we don't mean to make these mistakes and sometimes we even know better, okay? Many times I've written something and I knew better and I'm like, well, why did I write that? Because you're in a hurry and you just typed it wrong and I'm not a good typist. So actually it finds all of that stuff for you also. Number four, check this out. Grammarly can be customized for your use. You may not realize it, but the way you're writing needs to fit your niche audience. So let's check it out. I wanna give you some examples on the screen as to how you can customize on Grammarly. So as you can see here, the first part says what? It says set goals, okay? So getting tailored writing suggestions based on your goals and audience. Now under audience, you've got a choice of general, knowledgeable or expert. How much information does your audience have? So you can set that. Formality, informal, neutral or formal. Domain is an academic, business, general, technical, casual, creative. And then the tone is it neutral, confident, joyful, optimistic, friendly, urgent, analytical or respectful. And then the intent is it to inform, describe, convince, tell a story. And then you set all of those goals and you just click done. Now this is something I really like. You can actually set your notifications that you get from Grammarly. Most companies either have, you know, you're gonna get their emails or you're gonna unsubscribe, but not Grammarly. They set them custom, check this out. It says let's keep in touch and then you can check all these different boxes like what you see on the screen here. Weekly progress reports, Grammarly offers, product updates, the Grammarly blog. And you just check off the ones you want and then you update your preferences. I think that's pretty cool because you're not getting emails for stuff you're not interested in, but you're not wiping out the stuff you may be interested in. So Grammarly even lets you set those notifications. Now number five, this is my favorite. Grammarly is very easy to use, very easy to use. All you have to do is download and install the app for Windows and Microsoft Office, add the Grammarly extension to Chrome, sign up for a free account without downloading anything or adding anything. You don't have to do it. If you don't want to download anything or add any extensions to your browser, the easiest way to use Grammarly is to sign up for a free account. And all you have to do is follow these steps right here. You look for and click on the login option on the right-hand corner. At the bottom of the login box, click don't have an account, enter your email and create a password. Personalize your Grammarly to your own needs or choose skip and you can choose what most of your writing is for from a dropdown menu like work or school or other projects. You could also choose your writing skills, whether it's beginner, intermediate or advanced and then you choose a free or premium version. There is no risk in trying the free version to see if you like it. Now, if you sign up for the free account, I do encourage you to look at the demo, watch some of the demos they have in there. To exit the demo, all you have to do is click on the Grammarly icon in the upper left-hand corner. Then you'll see a menu like the one you see on the screen right here.

You can see how many errors you have along the suggestions and explanations I'm gonna have to fix them. To access the explanations, just click on the alert and then click on the three dots for more. Now there are some limitations. There's only certain browsers you can use. You can use Chrome, Safari or Firefox. If you try to use Explorer, it's gonna give you a message saying why don't you try one of these other windows because they work and this one does not. And of course, when it comes to proof reading, I would say Grammarly is probably one of the best in the world, but that doesn't make it perfect. It's gonna miss stuff every now and then. So I do suggest you go through and proof read any corrections they've made. Make sure it makes sense to you. Make sure the words are used in the proper text. Now you maybe ask yourself, should I install that Grammarly extension? I recommend it. I haven't seen any problems with it and the thing I like about it is always there and no matter if I'm working on a webpage or if I'm working in a Word doc or whatever, that extension's there and it helps me correct things. So I would highly recommend it, but if you don't want to, you can log into your site each time and put all your text in there. I hope you enjoyed this video. I hope it helped you out. I hope you get Grammarly. You're gonna write better if you do. Get you some Grammarly, it's free. They have paid versions too and they have a little bit more bells and whistles, but certainly, even with a free one, you're gonna get better text. You're gonna have better content than you ever had before if you don't use it. It will catch mistakes that you didn't even mean to make that you didn't realize you made. Of course, once it goes through and corrects everything, make sure you proof read it, make sure you do that, and I think you're really gonna enjoy this program. Thank you so much for watching.
