Proofreading

Proofreading is the process of reviewing a text to find and correct errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting.

Punctuation refers to the marks used in writing that help clarify meaning, such as periods, commas, and question marks.

Verb tense indicates the time at which an action takes place, such as past, present, or future.

'There' refers to a place, 'their' shows possession, and 'they're' is a contraction for 'they are'.

The subject is the part of a sentence that tells who or what the sentence is about.

The predicate is the part of a sentence that tells what the subject does or is.

A complete sentence has a subject, a verb, and expresses a complete thought.

A fragment is a group of words that does not express a complete thought and is not a complete sentence.

A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined without proper punctuation or conjunction.

A comma is used to separate items in a list, join independent clauses, or set off introductory elements.
