What is Grammar Monster?   ^ top
Grammar Monster is an interactive and user-friendly program designed to revise (or teach) the use of punctuation and English grammar. It is aimed at native English speakers who are required to produce high-quality official correspondence.

Is Grammar Monster suitable for students learning English as a second language?
^ top
Only if they're advanced students.
Grammar Monster is designed for people who write English well. It is not cluttered with basic grammar points which a native English speaker would already know. For example, Grammar Monster explains how to use semicolons, but it does not show the conjugation of verbs (I am, you are, he/she/it is, we are, etc.)

Does Grammar Monster cover English and American English?
^ top
There are some minor differences between American English and English. For example:
  • licence/license
  • practice/practise
  • use of punctuation at the end of a quotation
  • use of single and double quotation marks
These are highlighted and explained in Grammar Monster.

Is the Grammar Monster e-Book a grammar checker? 
^ top
No.  The Grammar Monster e-Book is a reference tool for offline use.
Grammar Monster endorses only one grammar checker: WhiteSmoke.

Why should I learn grammar and punctuation?
^ top
Every day, people judge you by your writing. Whether it's right or wrong, they make assumptions about your intelligence, education and capabilities based on the standard of your correspondence. In business, it is often said that you are what you write.

Although spell-checkers and Thesauruses are extremely useful tools for correcting spelling and providing a wide vocabulary, software programs do not offer anywhere near the same level of support when it comes to grammar. Learning grammar and punctuation is still the only way to eliminate errors from your correspondence and ensure credibility.  Grammar Monster endorses only one grammar checker: WhiteSmoke.
