Beyond basic grammar checking, Grammarly's advanced features help you develop a more effective writing style.

Style Suggestions

Grammarly identifies and fixes style issues:

Wordiness

• ❌ "Due to the fact that" → ✅ "Because"
• ❌ "In order to" → ✅ "To"
• ❌ "At this point in time" → ✅ "Now"

Passive Voice

• ❌ "The report was written by the team" → ✅ "The team wrote the report"
• Use passive voice when the actor is unknown or unimportant

Hedging Language

• ❌ "It seems like this might possibly work" → ✅ "This works"
• Remove unnecessary qualifiers that weaken your message

Tone Detection & Adjustment

Grammarly analyzes your tone across multiple dimensions:

• Confident ↔ Tentative: Are you asserting or hedging?
• Friendly ↔ Formal: Does the tone match the context?
• Optimistic ↔ Worried: What emotional impression do you convey?
• Direct ↔ Diplomatic: How blunt or tactful is your message?

Adjusting Tone for Context

• Client email: Aim for confident + friendly + diplomatic
• Internal memo: Direct + informative works well
• Marketing copy: Optimistic + confident + engaging
• Academic paper: Formal + confident + informative
