Examples
Before
I am already finished my homework, so I will cope up with the lessons tomorrow.
After
I have already finished my homework, so I will catch up on the lessons tomorrow.
“am finished” → “have finished” (present perfect for a completed action). “cope up with” → “catch up on” (to make up for lost time); “cope with” means to deal with something.
Before
Tumakbo ng mabilis ang bata nang makita niya ang aso.
After
Tumakbo nang mabilis ang bata nang makita niya ang aso.
“Nang” ang gamit bago ang salitang naglalarawan kung paano ginawa ang kilos (tumakbo nang mabilis). Tama na ang ikalawang “nang” — ibig sabihin nito ay “noong” o “when.”
Before
Good day! I would like to ask if the requirements is already complete. Thank you for you're help.
After
Good day! I would like to ask if the requirements are already complete. Thank you for your help.
“requirements is” → “are” (plural subject). “you're” (you are) → “your” (belonging to you).
Errors Filipino writers often make
A quick reference — the checker catches these, but knowing the rule helps you avoid them in the first place.
- “cope up with”
- Use “cope with” (to deal with) or “catch up on” (to make up for lost time).
- “open / close the light”
- In standard English you “turn on” or “turn off” a light or a fan.
- “I'm here since 2020”
- With “since”, use the present perfect: “I have been here since 2020.”
- ng vs nang
- “Ng” marks a possessor or an object (ang bag ng bata; kumain ng saging). “Nang” means when, so that, or how (nang dumating siya; tumakbo nang mabilis), and joins repeated words (takbo nang takbo).
- din / rin, daw / raw
- Use rin and raw after a vowel or w/y (ako rin, siya raw); din and daw after a consonant (pagod din, aalis daw).
- may vs mayroon
- “May” goes directly before a noun, verb or adjective (may pera siya). “Mayroon” goes before a pronoun or particle (mayroon siyang pera; mayroon pa ba?).
Good to know
- It can miss errors or over-correct your style — you decide which changes to keep.
- Tagalog has accepted spelling variants; the checker follows common modern usage.
- It does not replace feedback from your teacher or an editor.

Questions
Libre ba talaga? Is it really free?
Yes. Urban AI is free and needs no account. There is a fair-use limit on messages per hour and per day so the service stays available for everyone.
Can it check Tagalog grammar?
Yes — including common issues like ng/nang, din/rin, daw/raw and may/mayroon. Set “Explain in” to Tagalog if you want the reasons in Tagalog.
Will it rewrite my whole essay?
No. It keeps your meaning and voice and only fixes what is wrong. If you want the text rewritten in another tone, use the Paraphraser.
