Microsoft Word comes with a powerful grammar checker, but many of its advanced grammar detection features are disabled by default. Grammarly is popular, but you don’t need it to add grammar checking to Word. Word itself contains a free alternative to Grammarly.

The grammar checker is part of all modern versions of Microsoft Word, including Word for Office 365, Word 2019, and Word 2016.
