1. Revision Goals Before submitting, check your draft for these common errors…

2. There, Their, or They’re? There = a place (the word “here” is in the word; use it to help remember: W here is it? Here or t here ?) Their = third person possessive (the word “heir” is in the word: T heir son is the heir to the throne.) They’re = They are. The contraction should help you with this one.

3. Were or Where? Were = past tense verb of being You were running so fast. We were pleased when the Eagles defeated the Cowboys. Where = which place?

4. Here or Hear? Here = this place (just as t here = that place and w here = which place?) Hear = capable of perceiving sound I cannot hear the radio with all of that screaming in the back seat!

5. Its or It’s? Its = possessive: The dog ate its food greedily. It’s = it is Where is the remote control? It’s in the couch cushions (It is in the couch cushions.)

6. Are or Our? Quick tip: pronounce them as they are spelled Are = verb of being (second-person and plural usage) We are going to the movies. You are staying home. They are having fun. Our = first-person plural possessive My wife and I send our son to pre-school.

7. Fragment or Run-On? Going to the store and buying snacks. Doodle and the narrator go to Old Woman Swamp they go swimming in the swamp they make jewelry from the long grasses. Having the time of their life. Granny looks at the camera man the children say nothing.
