About Linguisoft’s grammar check: Structural Clean Writing.

Grammar Rules

Essentially, grammar is a system of rules that constitute a language and the logic of choice and order of our words. Proper grammar makes the relation between the words become clear, and we can communicate better without creating confusion. Knowledge of these grammar rules will help you to communicate better.

Clauses

A sentence is made of clauses, and a clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a predicate. Every complete sentence is made up of at least a clause.

The two clause categories are: Independent and Dependent Clauses. And basically, seven types of clauses create sentences. Our grammar checking tool analyzes these seven sentence clause types: Independent/Main Clause, Subordinate Clause, Coordinate Clause, Relative Clause, Noun Clause, Adjective Clause, and Adverb Clause (includes implied Elliptical Clauses). Our grammar checking tool checks underlying Transformational clausal structure and Thematic deep sentence structure correlation.

Sentence Structure

Sentence structure is the grammatical arrangement of a sentence and consists of four types: Simple, Compound, Complex, and Compound-Complex.

Our sentence checker tool knows and analyzes sentence structure rules such as (1) a complete sentence must include a subject and a predicate, (2) a compound subject includes two or more subjects, (3) an independent clause consists of a subject and a predicate, etc. This tool is programmed to know these grammatical rules (and also the many exceptions to these rules).

Write Precisely. Try a Phrase Usage Style Check.

1. Choose simple words.

Avoid bookish and overly formal words and phrases. Write 'use' instead of 'utilize', 'near' instead of 'close proximity', 'help' instead of 'facilitate', 'for' instead of 'in the amount of', 'start' instead of 'commence'.

Check for these types of style errors with our phrase usage style check.

2. Avoid Wordy Expressions. Don't ramble with wordiness.

Students use three or more words when one word is good enough. Why?

Use specific words for a longer phrase. Do not use more words than necessary to express a thought. Good concise writing uses only the words you need to express an idea. No extra litter. Great writing doesn't need fancy words.

Use 'while' instead of 'during the time that', 'because' instead of 'because of the fact that', 'now' instead of 'at the present time', and 'if' instead of 'in the event that'. A simple term conveys the same idea and is easier to read and remember.

Our phrase usage style check eliminates these types of style errors.

3. Redundancy Reduces Conciseness.

Redundant phrases repeat or express the same thought again.

Some common examples of redundant phrases:

• free gift
• circle around
• close proximity
• small in size
• the reason why
• true facts
• basic fundamentals
• past history
• collaborated together
• consensus of opinion
• in spite of the fact that

Our phrase usage style check eliminates redundant phrases.

4. Write short sentences.

Keep sentences short for the same reason that you keep paragraphs short: they’re easier to read and understand.

Use the Readability Check to determine reading ease. Use our Statistics Analysis to tailor each sentence to target your specific audience.
