Chinese Grammar & Writing Checkers
Catch grammar mistakes, awkward phrasing, punctuation problems, and unclear word choices before they make it into your final draft. These tools can help Chinese learners check sentences, polish their writing, and spot areas that may need a second look, whether you’re working on homework, messages, essays, or everyday Chinese.
Grammar & Writing Tools
★ Uses fixed-rule checks to catch common Mandarin word-order and grammar mistakes while linking learners to explanations. Chinese Sentence Checker by The Pure Language is a free, no-sign-up tool for checking up to 300 characters of Simplified Chinese for common learner errors involving word order, negation, measure words, questions, comparisons, 的/得/地, 把 and 被 sentences, directional complements and more. Detected problems include explanations and links to relevant grammar lessons, and the site says submitted text is not saved. Because the checker uses a limited set of fixed rules rather than AI, it does not evaluate meaning, vocabulary choice, naturalness, tones or every possible grammar error. Note: A result showing no problems only means none of its known error patterns were detected, not that the sentence is necessarily correct.
