Free Italian text corrector.

No card required. Your text is encrypted and never used to train models.
Most grammar checkers hand you a corrected sentence and move on. That fixes the text and teaches you nothing, which is why the same mistake comes back a week later.
This one explains each correction in plain English, so you can see the rule behind it. Write a few sentences about your actual day rather than a test sentence. Real writing surfaces the mistakes you actually make.
These are the ones that survive years of study, because conversation partners understand you anyway and never correct them.
Sono 30 anni.Ho 30 anni.
Italian uses avere for age, like French and Spanish. Carried over from "I am 30" and rarely corrected in conversation, so it sticks.
Ho andato al mercato.Sono andato al mercato.
Verbs of motion take essere in the passato prossimo, and the participle then agrees with the subject. Picking the wrong auxiliary is the most common Italian tense error.
Mi piace i libri.Mi piacciono i libri.
Piacere agrees with the thing that pleases, not the person pleased. The structure is inverted relative to English, so translating directly produces the wrong agreement every time.
Un bello ragazzo.Un bel ragazzo.
Bello shortens before most masculine singular nouns, following the same pattern as the definite article. The full form is not wrong in isolation, just not what a native would write here.
Penso che è vero.Penso che sia vero.
Verbs of opinion and belief take the subjunctive after che. Colloquial Italian does sometimes drop it, which is why learners hear both and pick the wrong one for written text.
- Is this Italian corrector free?
- Yes. You can correct a piece of Italian writing without creating an account or entering a card. If you want to keep your entries, track which mistakes you repeat, and write regularly, you can make a free account, which includes ten entries a month.
- How is this different from a normal grammar checker?
- A grammar checker fixes the sentence. This explains why the sentence was wrong, in English, so the correction becomes something you can apply next time. It also gives you coaching on what you wrote and a score for grammar, verbs and vocabulary, which a checker does not do.
- Does it explain essere versus avere in past tenses?
- Yes. When the auxiliary is wrong it names which one the verb takes and why, including the participle agreement that follows from it, rather than silently swapping the verb.
- Will it flag the subjunctive?
- Yes, and it says what triggered it. Since spoken Italian sometimes drops the subjunctive where written Italian keeps it, corrections note when a form is acceptable in speech but not in writing.
