It is as artificial intelligence (AI) which is an easy-to-use in grammar editing and proofing application. Grammarly is among the best English grammar-checking tools in its related innovation field. Many students cannot make sentences, especially on the topic of simple past tense, because they are unfamiliar with verbs. Limited memory is also one of the causes of their difficulties. Students often forget, that in simple past tense they have to use the second form of the verb.
