Correct grammatically or grammatically correct?
For a sentence such as, "A girl who speaks and writes ___________________."
Would you fill in the blank with correct grammatically or grammatically correct?
Kay thanks!

Grammatically correct..

Neither.
Because the phrase - it's not a sentence - is saying *how* she speaks and writes, it needs the adverb form "correctly"
"A girl who speaks and writes grammatically correctly".
However, it's monstrously unidiomatic. It would be better to rephrase it in a way that lets you use the adjective form:
"A girl who speaks and writes grammatically correct English"
"A girl whose speech and writing is grammatically correct"

Ray G is correct :) you could also say, "A girl who speaks and writes with correct grammar".
