If you know a native English speaker, ask him (or her) to repeat the sentence you think is correct (or wish to use) & they should be able to tell you whether it sounds “grammatically correct” (or not).

Well, that would have been my natural first choice, but I do not know a native English speaker - in real life.
Grammerly sounds like something I should give a look. Many thanks for your answers.
Can you also recommend any tool that can offer significant rephrasing and style improvement of English text, not only grammar check?
Hm, it works, thanks
Depends on the English you want? British English which is what people from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa use, or American English which has different spellings.
American English excludes the “u” from French sounding borrow words like neighbour, favourite, colour, harbour etc
It also spells words with “ise” in them as a suffix as “ize” like Personalize vs personalise.
They change the spelling of words ending in “re” so centre becomes center, metre becoms meter etc.
Examples - British English “They personalised the favourite colours of their neighbours”
American English “They personalized the favorite colors of their neighbors”.
What I have seen is BE is fine in the British Commonwealth, but the rest of the world including non English speaking countries excusing Nordic Europe and France, will use American English. Honestly when I taught English in South Korea, I was told my English was confusing as they wanted their kids to sound like Britney Spears not the Queen of England!!!
