6. SPELLING When you read through your writing, you may stop at words that don’t look right. These are often the words that you have spelled incorrectly, and you should check them in the dictionary, or ask someone to check them for you. If you are writing on a computer, you should run the spell check. This will help you correct most of your mistakes
7. PUNCTUATION You should check to make sure you have not written any run-on sentences or sentence fragments. In correcting these problems, you usually need to change the punctuation. You can check to make sure that other aspects of your punctuation are correct. For example: Have you punctuated correctly sentences that contain direct speech? Are your end punctuation marks correct? Have you used commas correctly?
8. CAPITALIZATION Check that your sentences all start with a capital letter. You also need capital letters for all proper nouns (e.g. names of people, countries, cities, rivers, etc.)
