You may also use a gradient to draw a grid below your text. It has to match the line-height

Here an example with CSS var() to ease the tuning.

p, textarea {
  --lineH: 1.6em;
  line-height: var(--lineH);
  padding:var(--lineH);
  padding-block:0;/*reset to set first line right at top */
  background:repeating-linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 0 1.4em, gray 1.4em calc(1.4em + 2px), transparent calc(1.4em + 2px) 1.6em)  50% 0 / calc(100% - var(--lineH) * 2  ) 100% no-repeat ;

}

<p>Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Vestibulum tortor quam, feugiat vitae, ultricies eget, tempor sit amet, ante. Donec eu libero sit amet quam egestas semper. Aenean ultricies mi vitae est. Mauris placerat eleifend leo. Quisque sit amet est et sapien ullamcorper pharetra. Vestibulum erat wisi, condimentum sed, commodo vitae, ornare sit amet, wisi. Aenean fermentum, elit eget tincidunt condimentum, eros ipsum rutrum orci, sagittis tempus lacus enim ac dui. Donec non enim in turpis pulvinar facilisis. Ut felis. Praesent dapibus, neque id cursus faucibus, tortor neque egestas augue, eu vulputate magna eros eu erat. Aliquam erat volutpat. Nam dui mi, tincidunt quis, accumsan porttitor, facilisis luctus, metus</p>
<textarea placeholder="Type your texts here"></textarea>

Added a textarea to the example to show another possible use.

You can use text-decoration: underline to get that effect (although the text-underline-offset style rule which is used to space the line from thee normal position is NOT supported in IE at all and some other browsers are a bit spotty with it). The only other way to do it is to split the content into spans and apply the border bottom or ::after pseudo-element to each span.

p { 
   font-size: 14px;
   font-weight: 400;
   line-height: 32px;
   text-decoration: underline;
   text-underline-offset: 4px;
}

Solution 3:^[3]

The p tag is a block element. Means if you assign a border the border would be assigned for the block. If you change p tag to an inline element then the border would be displayed like you want.

Update

with inside underlined words

p {
  display: inline;
  border-bottom: 1px solid grey;
}

p span {
  text-decoration: underline;
  color: red;
}
