THERE are usually a couple of marks in the grading scheme for good grammar and punctuation, so a little overview at the end of your writing process should give you a boost.
Spell check
Enable your spell and grammar checker, review your document, and decide whether to accept or reject the suggestion.
Print your paper
It’s remarkable how perceptions shift when viewing material in print, and how much easier it is to spot mistakes. Just skim through the material and use a marker pen to highlight the issues and then rectify them.
Read your paper out loud
Some people find that they can detect their mistakes better if they read aloud compared to reading them. This may or may not work for you but it’s worth having a go. For best results, print your paper, pick up a marker pen, then stand up and orate. Mark the sentences that need fixing.
