Grammar
Grammar is a means of describing the structure of language, the way speakers and writers construct or create meaning.
Issues related to grammar and mechanics (spelling and punctuation) can be addressed during the processes of revising and editing.
The following errors are considered to be major errors:
Subject-verb agreement
Correct use of verb tenses
Correct use of pronouns: agreement, reference, case
Sentence fragments
Run-on sentences: Comma splice and fused sentence
