Check your work

Hello, and welcome to Myriora English! Leave the last few minutes to check your writing. You can catch easy mistakes, and they're often the ones you know how to fix.

Check three things. Sentences: does each one start with a capital letter, and end with a full stop? Words: has any word been missed out? Spelling: does any word look wrong?

Here's how to find them. Read slowly, and move your finger along. Say the words in your head, exactly as they're written. That's how you catch a missing word.

Try this one. We went to park and played football. A word is missing. It should be: to the park.

Let's try one together. What needs fixing in this sentence? Here's a tip: look at the start and the end. Say it out loud!

It needs a capital letter at the start, and a full stop at the end.

Here's a common mistake. Rewriting whole sentences at the end. You may run out of time, and it makes your work messy. Make small, neat changes.

Your turn! Which sentence is correct? Pick the right card. You've got ten seconds, or pause the video. Go!

Time's up! It's the second card! It has a capital letter at the start, and a full stop at the end.

Quick review. Leave the last few minutes to check. Check capitals and full stops. Look for missing words and odd spellings. Make small, neat changes. See you next time!
