Created a Gem titled 'Your grammar query tutor' for students to clarify the sentences they have in mind

 Tried creating another 'Gem' within Gemini just now. This one is like a conversational learning bot: If students have a sentence in mind which they are not sure about in terms of grammatical accuracy, they consult this Gem, which will guide them to clarify the grammaticality of their sentence so that there is a learning process. It differs from grammar checker apps like Grammarly and ludwig Guru which correct their problem sentences for them right away. 


Some time ago when I started to find out how to create such conversational learning bots in POE's 'prompt bot', I would focus on one particular grammar item (e.g., type 2 conditional sentences), and I would write very specific, even cumbersome, prompts. This experience in using Gem to create a 'grammar query tutor' has told me that (a) a generic grammar learning bot can embrace all grammar items, and (b) I need not write highly specific instructions for the learning bot.

BIGGEST PROBLEM: Sharing restrictions
