Make any corrections necessary. • *Check the mechanics. • *Each sentence is complete (has a subject and a verb). • *Each sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a period (or proper punctuation mark). • *Proper nouns (such as names of people and places) and proper adjectives (adjectives made from proper nouns) are capitalized. • *The words are spelled correctly. • *The grammar is correct.
