E DITING In this stage you need to look for and correct mistakes in: Grammar Usage Mechanics (spelling, capitalization, punctuation)

G UIDELINES FOR EDITING Is every sentence a complete sentence, not a fragment or run-on? Does every sentence end with a punctuation mark? Are other punctuation marks used correctly?

G UIDELINES FOR EDITING Does every sentence begin with a capital letter? Are all proper nouns and proper adjectives capitalized?

G UIDELINES FOR E DITING Does every verb agree in number with its subject? Are verb forms and verb tenses used correctly? Do you have consistent verb tenses throughout your paper?

G UIDELINES FOR E DITING Are frequently confused words used correctly? (their, they’re, there, its and it’s, your and you’re, etc.)
