Each grammar checker has its strengths and weaknesses. You'll learn which one to rely on when you need a second opinion about something. Personally, I use three grammar checkers, and I have learned what to consider and what to ignore from each of them. I use Scribens, Grammarly, and Prowritingaid, all free versions. A reliable punctuation reference source is https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/
I hope this helps.

No matter what tool you use, you cannot rely on it blindly. I have seen Grammarly have really bad days! Of course, tools are great for catching some errors, but ultimately, you have to decide if what they are flagging is actually an error or not. They do not catch everything, and they may suggest something that is incorrect. I recommend brushing up on grammar rules by visiting grammar websites and bookmarking them so that you can refer to them when you have a question.
