Abstract

One of the fascinating features of English language is its robust grammar construction and syntactic structure. Learning grammar is not difficult in the present era as there are many online tools available for grammar teaching. In spite of its abundance presence and relevance, when one takes a deep dive into finding the syntactic structure used for grammar checker, it is perhaps a complex paradigm. It is hence important to study the logic of defining the grammar rules. Therefore the objective of this paper is to describe the prototype of an efficient grammar checker and to design an interface to perform grammar check. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is improved as compared to the existing methods.
