I'm not sure if this is the right way to describe it. What I mean is, say a user types in "apple ate I", the algorithm would give suggestions like "do you mean: 'I ate apple'?" and other possible arrangements that makes sense.

It's actually a pretty simple probabilistic algorithm. You can find a decent example here:

OP was asking about correcting grammar, the link you provided although informative talks about implementing a spellcheck.
