In the example below, identify as many grammar errors as you can. There is one error on each line. The errors refer to grammar issues discussed in the sections of this guide.

For best results, proof reading requires a systematic approach. Therefore, you may want to download the Complete checklist from the link at the bottom of this page, and use it to guide your corrections.

The Writer and Writing

The key traditional understanding of the writer is one that is reactive. Isolated and removed from the social and political sphere as much as from everyday life. The contentions here is that although the writer is alone, he/she can access knowledge that is universally available, it presupposes that the writer dips into knowledge, extracts of it and then retreats to the process of writing once more. Conﬁned to this perspective, writing is individualised rather than embedded to a social context. Writing is not socially situated but utterly removed from any external factors. Why writing is often thought of in this way is something that will be explored by the author in this essay.
