Writing-format checker

A green tick means the tool found a feature the format usually needs; an amber flag means it could not find it, which is worth a look, though not always a mistake, because formats bend to purpose. Treat the register flags the same way: a contraction or an informal word is fine in a chatty journal entry but costs marks in a formal letter. The point of the check is to make you notice the conventions, not to obey a rule blindly. Use it as a last pass before you hand work in, then send it to us if you want a real reader.

A checklist can tell you a greeting is missing. It cannot tell you whether your argument persuades or your tone suits the audience. An experienced teacher can: they read your actual writing and show you the one change that lifts it. Run the check and fix the obvious gaps, then bring the draft to a lesson for feedback that goes beyond conventions.
