How to change dictionary settings in Android?

My mobile has Android Oxygen installed. When I type words while composing SMS, the dictionary suggestion defaults to what it thinks is right but what not what I have actually typed. For example when I type 'abc', I want abc to be the chosen suggestion and not one of the other suggestions which the OS thinks is right. Please let me know if there is any way of disabling the existing behavior and modify the default selection to what I type.

Well, I think I could achieve this by changing the settings from Swift Keyboard to Google English Keyboard.

Android

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).
