Natural reader to read your work back to you. Listen to it and any errors or unnatural sounding wording stands out.
Unless you pay for professional services, always double check. I found leaving my writing alone for an hour or so before proofreading helps me recognize errors that I normally would not have caught. When in doubt about a sentence, run the sentence only through one of the grammarcheckers.

Agree with you on Prowriting aid. It's a great platform for all writings.T_stone wrote: ↑18 Dec 2019, 10:19 Basically, it depends on how frequent you write reviews. If you write, say two or three reviews in a month, I won't advise you to opt for grammarly. You should use 'Prowritingaid' instead. You pay for each 100 words you write. There's an option to choose how early you want your document be checked. The earliest has the highest amount for each 100 words.

Seconded. The Grammarly extension is rubbish - it marks non-errors and does not spot real ones. Reviewers are strongly advised not to rely on it. There's a lot to be said for traditionally published grammar books.MrsCatInTheHat wrote: ↑19 May 2021, 07:15 Grammarly is not particularly effective anymore. It often marks things as errors that are stylistic and not objective errors. Most spelling/grammar checks are good for checking spelling but not necessarily grammar. It's most important to study the parts of grammar that you are not familiar with.
If you can afford a subscription, the Chicago Manual of Style is excellent. If you're ESL, something like this may be helpful: https://elt.oup.com/catalogue/items/glo ... anguage=en

I just visited ProWritingAid. Looks like their plans are cheaper now than it was when you posted this. I currently use Grammarly Premium, but I guess I'll check out ProWritingAid.
