Check Grammatical Details

Don't forget to look for the major kinds of problems that crop up in student writing. Use these questions to help you edit for grammatical problems:

Do I see any errors in subject-verb agreement?
Do I see any errors in pronoun usage?
Do I switch from present tense to past tense?
