Here's a good tip that will improve the grammar and spelling in your writing...

Cut and paste your text into Microsoft Word.

In word, choose 'options' from the 'tools' menu. In options, click on 'spelling and grammar'.

Make sure there is a little green in the boxes for 'check spelling as you type' and 'check grammar as you type'.

When you go back to look at your text, you will see that all of your spelling errors are underlined in red, and all of your grammar errors are underlined in green. Now you can go through the text correcting your errors (those lines disappear when you fix the errors).

If you're not sure what the mistake is, right-click on it and 'Word' will give you a suggestion, telling you what it thinks the text should really read.

When you've fixed the text as much as possible, you might have one or two errors left. I'm sure you'll be able to find some help with those, right here on this forum.

Of course - I could just go through your text, telling you what's right and what's wrong, but what would you learn then?

Good luck with your writing!
