Checking for: Preposition use at the end of sentences

There is elements of language that allow us to beter understand the world. Abstractions in language help us classify ideas into groups so that we may generalize or specify parts within a label. For instance a car is made up of many parts, such as the engine, the wheels, the body, etc. We call it a car instead of “an engine driving the wheels with a body atached to carry passengers”, to make it easier for us not only to transfer the thought within our mind, but also to others. Also, by calling it a car, we have differentiated the object from a train or a bike, both being other modes of transportation. Abstractions are part of our mental grids that help us by chopping reality into fragments so that we may organize it and put it into our grasp of understanding. Something such as temperature cannot be measured because it is infinitely variable. It is just our environment reduced to numbers so that we can conceive it in our minds. Again, our world is divided into pieces so the human mind can understand it bit buy bit. From seeing a car to measuring the temperature, language offers a explanation to our experiences and is powerful tool to help us think.

Grammatical mistakes that go unnoticed by popular word processors and other grammar checker programs are caught by Grammarly. Here are some examples:

Review this sentence for comma use.

Review this sentence for commonly confused words. Ensure you do not confuse similar words with different meaning. Suggested correction: The philosopher did not speak aloud often.

Contextual Spelling
The philosopher did not speak allowed often.

Review this sentence for commonly confused words.

Ensure you do not confuse similar words with different meaning.

Suggested correction:

The philosopher did not speak aloud often.

Modifier
Presenting your ideas effectively improves communication.

Review this sentence for squinting modifiers.

The modifier “effectively” may be defining either clause in your sentence and is therefore a squinting modifier. Make sure it is clear which clause is being modified by this word.

Preposition
Be careful for the ice, the steps are slippery!

Review this sentence for preposition misuse.

Your sentence may use “for” after “to be careful”. Please re-read your sentence and ensure you have used the correct preposition.

Punctuation
“Let's go outside” said the boy.

Review this sentence for comma use.

Ensure there is a comma between direct quotes and the attributive tag. The attributive tag, (“said”), should be separated from the quote by a comma; consider inserting one.

Quantifier
Do you want more or less apples?

Review this sentence for quantifier usage.

The quantifier “less” may not be appropriate for the noun which it modifies. Clearly identify the noun as countable or uncountable, and consider changing the quantifier, as appropriate.

improving word choice and enhancing eloquence. “Synonyms” suggestions are generated around the awkward or incorrect use of words.
