What a correction looks like
You write:
Gestern ich habe mit meine Freundin ins Kino gegangen.
Corrected:
Gestern bin ich mit meiner Freundin ins Kino gegangen.
- Word order: the verb comes second. After Gestern the verb goes before ich.
- Perfekt with sein: gehen describes travelling to the cinema here, so it's bin … gegangen, not habe.
- Dative after mit: mit meiner Freundin.
An example of the kind of feedback you get. The real feedback is about your own text.
What you can get corrected
- Single sentences in the lessons (A1 to B2), where you type the German instead of picking an answer.
- Your own texts in “Correct my text”: emails, messages, homework, a CV line.
- Exam-style writing practice: automated feedback is for learning and is not an official exam result.
- Rewrites: fix a text yourself first, then compare with the correction.
What to look for in a correction
When reviewing a German text, check noun cases, verb position, articles and prepositions as well as spelling. Separate necessary grammar changes from optional stylistic suggestions, and check that your intended meaning is preserved.

Good to know
To check your text, the app sends it to an AI service. Your name and account details are not sent with it. The privacy policy lists the services. AI can make mistakes, so if a correction looks wrong you can report it in the app.
How to review a correction without changing your meaning
- Compare each sentence with the original: are the time, people and intended meaning preserved?
- Identify the change: verb form, word order, noun case or a stylistic suggestion.
- Review the rule and write a new example. More than one wording may be correct.
Questions people ask
How is this exercise different from correcting my text?
The exercise on this page has a fixed answer and is checked locally in your browser. To correct free text, open the app and use its text-correction tool, subject to the availability and limits shown there.
Is AI German correction always accurate?
No. Automated feedback can be wrong or suggest wording that changes your intended meaning. Compare the original and corrected text, check the explanation, and ask a qualified person to review important writing.
Can I use it for exam writing practice?
You can use it to review a practice text and identify language mistakes. Deutsch Schreiben is an independent learning tool, not an examination body; an automated score is neither a certificate nor a guarantee of passing.
Are explanations available in Arabic?
The app offers Arabic explanations, and the linked Arabic version of this page explains the German example in Arabic.
References for the grammar explanation
For more detail on the two rules used in the example, see grammis from the Leibniz Institute for the German Language:
- Verbzweitsatz: the position of the finite verb.
- Perfekt mit sein oder haben: choosing an auxiliary according to usage.
These are grammar references, not an endorsement of the app or a guarantee of its corrections. The examples on this page were prepared by Deutsch Schreiben.

Learn from a correction before trying AI
Ich habe gestern nach Berlin gefahren.
Ich bin gestern nach Berlin gefahren.
In this sentence, fahren describes travelling to another place, so its Perfekt uses sein. Do not generalise this to every use of fahren: transitive uses can take haben.
