Apa format and Grammarly

[Sara143]

Hi, I I'm using Grammarly. I chose apa format ( in Grammarly ) whenever I write something. Grammarly gave me option to chose MLA or APA. I chose apa format but unfortunately my instructor saying it's not APA format. I did many searches about the APA format. Which window do I need for that? Any recommendations about apa format will be helpful. Thanks

Purdue Owl is where many schools send students to learn about APA. You can also contact the writing center for help. Which class is this for?

Personally, I do all my APA writing in Google Docs, check grammar in Grammarly, and paste it back into Docs. The APA citations and such never go over to Grammarly when I write papers. So far, this method has worked well for me.

Another option (very similar to above), I use the APA writing within MS Word and the premade templates. Just copy/paste what you currently have into the template and you're done - obviously you want to check with Grammarly to have your info updated properly!

I use Grammarly extensively. It is pretty good about some aspects of APA, but I don't think it is really sold as an APA tool. Word has some built-in functionality, and there's a plugin called Perrla for Word (also a standalone tool) that is pretty good for document formatting (headings, block quotes, initial page formatting, etc.)

I make use of Owl extensively when I have questions, and I also have a copy of the APA manual, which is helpful for more obscure formatting that isn't covered in Owl.

For citation formatting, I use MyBib, which is excellent and free.

Where are you having problems?

I've been pretty happy with https://www.scribbr.com/apa-citation-generator/ for creating the both the References section and in-text citations.
I use Google Docs, so references are formatted with:
Format -> Align & Indent -> Indentation Options -> Special Indent -> Hanging

Thanks for your reply. I am doing the same thing, but only the first-page title page is accepetable. I don't know how to mention references and spaces in lines in paragraphs.

Thanks, if you don't mind how much do you pay for that?

Thanks bjcheung 77, for always being helpful. Do you mean I have to copy-paste into MS word from Grammarly?
