If you meant "grammar," here’s a quick guide to the most common grammar issues and how to fix them.
Its vs. It’s
Its = possessive (The company changed its policy.)
It’s = contraction of it is or it has (It’s been a long day.)
Their vs. There vs. They’re
Their = possessive (Their work is excellent.)
There = location or existential (The tools are over there. There are four tasks.)
They’re = contraction of they are (They’re arriving at noon.)
Your vs. You’re
Your = possessive (Is this your drill?)
You’re = contraction of you are (You’re on time.)
Subject-Verb Agreement
Singular subject takes singular verb (The team is ready.)
Plural subject takes plural verb (The team members are ready.)
Commas
Use commas to separate items in a list (We fixed pipes, painted walls, and cleaned up.)
Use a comma after an introductory phrase (After the inspection, we started repairs.)
Use commas to set off nonessential clauses (The crew, which arrived early, started work.)
Apostrophes
Show possession (Mike’s toolbox)
Don’t use for plurals (Three tools, not tool’s)
Sentence Fragments and Run-ons
Fragment: incomplete thought (Because we arrived late.) — Fix: Because we arrived late, we started after lunch.
Run-on: two independent clauses without proper punctuation (We finished the job it looked great.) — Fix: We finished the job, and it looked great. OR We finished the job; it looked great.
Misplaced Modifiers
Place modifiers next to the word they describe. Incorrect: We only painted the door that was red. Correct: We painted only the red door.
Parallel Structure
Keep items in a list grammatically parallel. Incorrect: We clean, paint, and to repair. Correct: We clean, paint, and repair.
Passive vs. Active Voice
Active is usually clearer. Passive: The window was replaced by the technician. Active: The technician replaced the window.
Quick editing tips
Read sentences aloud to catch mistakes.
Keep sentences concise.
Use consistent tense — generally past tense for completed work, present tense for general statements.
Use tools (spelling/grammar checkers) but verify suggested changes.
If you want, provide a sentence or paragraph and I’ll correct the grammar and explain the fixes.
