Grammar Exercises with Corrections and Explanations
Pronoun Case Chart
Assignment Sheet
For all additions/changes you make to this wiki, please put your first name and last initial in parentheses afterward (Jenny R., for example).
So here's the plan. First, click the "edit page" button. Then, in the chart below, put your "bad" sentences in the lefthand column. (These are the sentences you wrote that contain more than one of the commonly-made grammar errors we discussed before Thanksgiving Break.) Once you have added your sentences, try your hand at correcting someone else's sentences. Put the corrections in the righthand column. To be fair to everyone, you may only correct as many sentences as you contribute. That way, everyone gets a chance. And, of course, don't correct your own! Last, save your changes by clicking the "Save" button at the bottom.
If you look at someone else's correction and believe it's incorrect, or you believe you have a better solution, you may add yours to that box. But don't delete the previous correction. We'd all like to see the progression from uncorrected to partially corrected to mostly corrected to completely corrected (if it takes that many steps).
