For Italian learners
Italian grammar checker: essere or avere, articles and agreement
To check Italian grammar, paste your text into Gramatik and tap Fix. The app corrects the auxiliary in the past tense (essere or avere), articles like «lo» and «gli», gender and number agreement, prepositions and accents, and highlights every change in red and green. You can keep the app in English while it corrects your Italian, on iPhone, Android or the web.

How to check Italian grammar

Look for patterns
If «essere» keeps replacing «avere», that's the rule to review: verbs of movement and change take «essere».
The Italian mistakes learners make most
- Essere or avere in the passato prossimo: «ho andato» → «sono andato», and the participle agrees: «sono andata»
- Articles before s + consonant, z, gn and vowels: «il spaghetti» → «gli spaghetti», «il studente» → «lo studente»
- Piacere with plurals: «mi piace i libri» → «mi piacciono i libri»
- City vs country: «in Roma» → «a Roma», but «in Italia»
- Possessives with articles: «il mio amici» → «i miei amici», but «mia madre» (no article with singular family)
- Accents and apostrophes: «perchè» → «perché», «un po'», «qual è»
Grammar checking, plus the tools to learn
Most English-first checkers treat Italian as an extra. Gramatik reads the whole sentence in Italian. When a sentence is beyond you, translate it from English first and then fix it, or look up a word in the built-in dictionary. Studying Spanish or German too? See the Spanish and German grammar checkers.
Frequently asked questions
Does it explain the grammar rule?
It highlights each change so you see the mistake next to the correction. It doesn't write out the rule for each change; the list above covers the most common ones.
Can it help with CILS or CELI writing?
It corrects the language of your essay or letter. It doesn't grade it against the exam criteria, so use it to fix mistakes, not to predict a score.
Is it free?
Yes: 5 free actions every day, in the app and on the web with a free account. Gramatik Pro makes them unlimited; cancel anytime.
Can I use it on my computer?
Yes, at app.gramatik.app – sign in with Google or email, up to 6,000 characters per check.
Is my text stored?
Your text goes through our server to our AI provider (OpenAI) only to return the correction; we don't keep it on our servers. Details are in the privacy policy.
