Editing means fixing mistakes in your
writing to make it clear and easy to read. It
helps make your essay look polished and
professional.
Why is Editing Important?
✅ Corrects grammar mistakes – Fix errors
in sentence structure and word use.
✅ Improves word choice – Choose better
words to make your ideas stronger.
✅ Fixes spelling and punctuation – Make
sure every word is spelled correctly and
sentences have proper punctuation.
When editing your essay, check your
grammar and sentence structure to make
sure your writing is clear and correct.
❌ Plastic is everywhere it harms marine
life we should stop using it.
🔴 What's wrong? This sentence has three
ideas but no commas or connecting words
to separate them.
✅ Plastic is everywhere, and it harms
marine life. We should stop using it.
🟢 Fixed! By adding a comma and splitting
it into two sentences, the ideas become
clear. Tip:
Use commas and conjunctions (like and,
but, so) to connect ideas.
Break long sentences into two if needed.
Example:
❌ Because plastic pollution is dangerous.
🔴 What's wrong? This sentence starts with
because, making it feel unfinished. The
reader wonders, "What happens because
plastic pollution is dangerous?"
✅ Plastic pollution is dangerous because it
harms animals and the environment.
🟢 Fixed! Now, the sentence explains why
plastic pollution is dangerous.
Tip:
Every sentence must have a subject
and a verb.
Make sure your sentence can stand
alone and make sense.
❌ The oceans needs protection.
🔴 What's wrong? Oceans is plural, but
needs is a singular verb. They do not
match.
✅ The oceans need protection.
🟢 Fixed! Now, oceans (plural) matches
with need (plural).
Tip:
Singular: The ocean needs protection.
(One ocean = needs)
Plural: The oceans need protection. (Many
oceans = need)
What does this mean?
When writing, it’s important to choose
words that are clear, specific, and
professional. Avoid vague, informal, or
overused words.
Example 1: Replace Vague Words with
Specific Words
❌ Incorrect: Plastic pollution is bad for the
ocean.
✅ Correct: Plastic pollution is harmful to
marine life and the ecosystem.
🔴 Why? Bad is too general. Harmful gives
a clearer meaning.
Example 2: Avoid Informal Words
❌ Incorrect: We got rid of a lot of plastic
waste last year.
✅ Correct: We eliminated a large amount
of plastic waste last year.
🔴 Why? Got rid of is too casual.
Eliminated sounds more academic.
Example 3: Use Stronger, More
Descriptive Verbs
❌ Incorrect: Climate change makes storms
worse.
✅ Correct: Climate change intensifies
storms.
🔴 Why? Makes is weak. Intensifies is
more precise.
1. Check Spelling
Incorrect spelling can change the
meaning of a word or make writing
unclear.
✅ Example:
❌ Incorrect: "Plastik polution is a
serious problm."
✅ Correct: "Plastic pollution is a
serious problem."
2. Check Punctuation
Proper punctuation helps sentences
make sense and flow smoothly.
✅ Example:
❌ Incorrect: "We must stop plastic
pollution it is harming marine life"
✅ Correct: "We must stop plastic
pollution; it is harming marine life."
3. Check Formatting
Formatting includes consistent font
style, size, spacing, and alignment to
make writing professional and
readable.
✅ Example:
Use bold or italics when needed.
Keep paragraph spacing uniform.
Example: Use bullet points or headings for
organization.
Before Editing: "We need to stop using too
much plastic cause it really damages the
environment."
After Editing: "Reducing plastic
consumption is crucial to protecting the
environment from long-term damage."
