The red line indicates a misspelled word. The green line indicates a grammatical error, and the yellow line indicates a suggestion. Clicking on any of these indications will open an inline popup with possible corrections. You can easily accept the right correction or Add to the dictionary to add new words so you don't get corrected next time.
