Er fahrt fährt mit dem Bus zur Arbeit.
Missing Umlaut — "fahren" conjugates to "fährt" in the third person singular.

German sentence correction
German sentence correction requires a deep understanding of how German grammar works at the sentence level. Unlike English, German has a complex case system (Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ, Genitiv), grammatical gender for all nouns (der/die/das), and strict verb placement rules (V2 in main clauses, verb-final in subordinate clauses). German Scan's AI engine analyzes your complete sentences to understand context, identify errors, and suggest accurate corrections that respect the natural flow of German.
One of the most challenging aspects of German sentence correction is handling separable verbs (trennbare Verben) such as “anfangen”, “aufhören”, and “zurückkommen”. These verbs split apart in main clauses but reunite in subordinate clauses, and errors in their usage are common even among advanced German learners. German Scan detects misplaced verb particles, incorrect word order, and case errors across clauses, ensuring your sentences read naturally and grammatically.
German also has formal (Sie) and informal (du/ihr) address forms that affect verb conjugation and pronoun usage throughout a sentence. German Scan understands these levels and ensures verb forms remain consistent with the level of formality intended. It also correctly handles prepositions that require specific cases (e.g., mit + Dativ, für + Akkusativ), which are a frequent source of errors in German writing.
