Help for every part of English class

  • Grammar with the rule named

    Your sentence is quoted, the rule behind the mistake is named, and the corrected version is shown underneath.

  • Reading answers with line evidence

    For comprehension questions, the tutor points to the specific lines that support each answer, so you learn where to look.

  • Writing help that stays yours

    Thesis, structure and evidence are planned with you, with at most one model paragraph to show the shape of a good one.

  • Vocabulary in simple words

    New words are explained plainly, each with one example sentence you can adapt.

Grammar rules students mix up most

  • Fewer vs less

    Use fewer with things you can count (fewer people, fewer mistakes) and less with amounts you cannot (less time, less water). So the corrected sentence is "There were fewer people at the game than last year."

  • Its vs it's

    It's always means "it is" or "it has." Its is possessive, like his or her, and never takes an apostrophe: "The team lost its first game."

  • Comma splices

    Two complete sentences joined by only a comma form a comma splice. Fix it with a period, a semicolon, or a comma plus a conjunction such as and, but or so.

  • Subject–verb agreement

    The verb agrees with its subject, not with the noun closest to it: "The box of pencils is on the desk," because the subject is box.

From prompt to plan

Most essay trouble starts before the first sentence. Turn the prompt into a question you can answer in one sentence, and that answer becomes your thesis. Then choose two or three reasons that support it, and for each reason find one piece of evidence: a quotation, an example or a fact you can name.

A dependable paragraph pattern is point, evidence, explanation, link. State the point, give the evidence, explain how it proves the point, and connect back to the thesis. The tutor can show one model paragraph in this pattern so you see it working, and you write the rest.

How to use it

  1. Paste the sentence, passage or prompt

    For grammar, include the full sentence; for reading questions, include the passage. A photo of the worksheet also works.

  2. Pick your level

    Elementary and middle school get simpler terms, while high school and college use the full grammatical vocabulary.

  3. Choose how it's explained

    Simple words, an everyday analogy, concise exam revision or guiding questions first.

  4. Practice the rule

    Finish with the practice question, then try more sentences in AI Chat through "Ask a follow-up."

Frequently asked questions

Not quite. A grammar checker corrects a whole text, while this helper explains one question at a time: the rule, why it applies and how to spot it again.

No. It helps you find a thesis, organize your paragraphs and choose evidence, and it shows at most one model paragraph, so the rest of the essay is your own writing. Explanations are for learning and checking; see Academic Integrity and your school's rules on AI help.

Yes. Paste the passage and the questions, and each answer comes with the lines that support it so you can check the evidence yourself.

Yes. Choose the simple-words style and a lower grade level for plainer explanations. Answers on this page are written in English, and other language versions of the site answer in their own language.

On a Pro plan it is included* (*fair use: a daily cap of 300 runs across the writing, study and code tools). Otherwise each question uses 2 credits, or 3 if you attach an image. Without signing in, you can still preview how an answer begins for free.

Usage rules sometimes vary between style guides and between American and British English, and AI can make mistakes. If an explanation clashes with your textbook or teacher, follow them and ask a follow-up to explore the difference.
