This grammar checklist will help you check your language before handing in an assessment:
| Tick off when done | Things to check |
|---|---|
| Subject/Verb agreement – singular subject needs singular verb, 3PS takes S! | |
| Verb tense: am I using the right tense (tid)? Am I using the –ing form properly? Have I checked that I am not changing tense in the same sentence? Have I check for irregular verbs? Have I used the –ed ending for past tense of regular verbs? | |
| Incomplete sentences? Do all my sentences have a SUBJECT and VERB? | |
| Spelling: have I re-read to check for mistakes? | |
| Plural S: when nouns (substantive) are plural did I add an S or ES? | |
| Lengthy/Run-On Sentences: are some too long? | |
| Connecting Words: Have I used connecting words between sentences, therefore, so, since, then, although, | |
| Capital Letters: first word in all sentences, the pronoun I, titles for people (Prime Minister), days of week, months of year, countries, nationalities? | |
| Punctuation: Do I have periods or question marks at the ends of sentences? | |
| Apostrophe: Do I have this when words are contracted (it’s) and when using genitive (belonging to – my friend’s car)? | |
| Re-Read: Have I re-read what I have written? |
