For those writing in French, BonPatron can be a helpful text editor. Similar to Grammarly, it can catch any spelling and grammatical mistakes as well as provide an explanation for why each suggestion is made. However, please be careful when you’re accepting suggestions because BonPatron (and Grammarly) does not know the context of what you’re writing about. This means that some suggestions may not be correct. If you’re in doubt, it can be helpful to check with a bescherelle (French grammar book) to be sure.
