IF YOU STUDY FRENCH, LISTEN UP:
 Bon Patron will save your life.Â
What is it?
 a free grammar checker that was developed by French professors
 not extremely sophisticated and won’t catch all of your errorsÂ
but WILL prevent you from making dumb conjugation or agreement mistakes.Â
MUCH BETTER THAN MICROSOFT WORD
What does it look like?
What’s it do?
it marks what mistakes you made (writes them out and you can also hover over them - I couldn’t screenshot the entire list because it is VERY THOROUGH)Â
(I feel like I need to mention this is an automatically generated example, I’m bad at french but I’m not that bad)
says what type of mistake it isÂ
and what you can do to fix them.
What do I do with it?
Obviously don’t rely on it 100%, but if you’ve been staring at an essay for five hours it’s so nice to be able to run it through and have it catch the article you misused in the middle of the fourth paragraph.Â
make sure you check again after correcting the errors because sometimes new ones will be flaggedÂ
double check your work, sometimes it suggests corrections that you don’t need to make (since it’s a computer program and you’re a person)
BUT GO FORTH AND IMPROVE YOUR FRENCH GRADES (& share the good news)
