USEFUL TOOLS FOR WRITING

Grammarly

This app has been around for a few years now and it's used on google platforms like emails and google docs. It underlines the color red words and phrases that may contain errors and gives the writers suggestions on how to fix them. You can also highlight words and it may give you synonyms for them. I use it when correcting my drafts and yours too! It is especially useful for writing e-mails.
It's a google add-on, so all you have to do is go to this website: https://app.grammarly.com/ 
It will direct you on how to add the app to your google chrome web browser.

Thesaurus.com

 This is a website I like to use to look for various synonyms and antonyms. It shows you a diverse range from "more complicated to less complicated". Furthermore, it divides the word between its noun form and other forms it may have such as adjective, verb, or adverb. This is a link to the website: https://www.thesaurus.com/
It also has a tool here: https://www.thesaurus.com/writingtool where you copy/paste your texts and it verifies them for you, similar to Grammarly. 

Online Dictionaries 

I often use two online dictionaries which have proven to be resourceful to me. 
 This one is an oldie, but a goodie(as the idiom goes). It gives you definitions of the word in all it's forms and tells you how to pronounce them. 
   This one is a classic. It's been around for a very long time. 
    Similarly to the Oxford dictionary, this one has been around for a while.

As always, stay safe!
