You can tell it it loaded by going to the "tools"->"plugins" menu item.

If it loaded you will be "AbiGrammar" listed among the plugins.

If it's not there it didn;t load for some reason.

You enable grammar checking by going to "Edit"->"preferences" then click
on the spell checking pane.

There is a check box for "Check grammar as you type"

Make sure it is selected for grammar checking to work.
