Microsoft Word only correct wrong spelling in English writing. If I have no wrong spelling but express improperly, it couldn't correct that. I would like to find some free websit which could correct my english expression methods.

Are you really so confident for your spelling? Sorry, I don't think so. You made a lot of mistakes not only in spelling but also in grammar. Do you think that a sentence with wrong structure can express your minds properly?

The basic problems you still don't sort it out, how can you be confident for writting?

I would like to find some free websit which could correct my english expression methods.

Could you explain what the meaning is for the word:"expression" or "websit" ?

Incidentally, in your opinion, what is the correct expressing for writting English? Please put all your posts into Microsoft Word, you can see how many mistakes you have made in writting. Many sentences will be signed with red lines. You should rewrite it with correct sentence structure.

Thank you for your suggestion. I agree your oponin about right grammer and spelling are important in English expression. However, It seems Microsoft Word could only correct spelling but not grammer. So I need some website to correct my English expression, writing, including grammer.

Wow, dear Twsusan,
Don't you think there are some websites which will rewrite all your sentences? If you can creat such a website, I'm sure that you will be famous in one night. It's an ingenious idea for sucess. Laughing

You shouldn't put all your hope on a website. Some websites which can help you to correct wrong spelling and wrong grammar, but little can help you to crrect wrong ways in English expression. One meaning which can be writen by different sentences. You should read, listen and write as much as you can. At the same time, you should always compare the sentences which you wrote with the sentences which is writen in books or in news. Moreover, you can read some articles which are writen by native foreigners. Still you should distinguish which one is writen by standard English, which one is writen by oral or informal English.

For the Microsoft Word, if you write one sentence which is wrong either in spelling or in grammar, the sentence will be signed by red line. You should rewrite it with the English knowledge you have studied.

Here, in this website, some good teachers who will help you to rewrite some sentences or to correct some wrong spelling and grammar, but it's impossiabe to rely on them absolutely. Who can resolve all your problems? Who can replace you?

Hope that helps.

Sincerely.
