Feedback

Here you have some words commented on the essays you have written. This is in case you haven't had your essay back, for any reasons.

Kinds of mistakes observed:

Paragraphs structure: Some essays have missing topic sentences. Others, developed paragraphs of just a couple of lines.

Punctuation: It seems worth to be reminded that a comma doesn't mark the end of a sentence, unless followed by a connector. That's the job of a stop (period) or a semicolon, or even a colon.

Tense agreement: Just read your essay twice and thrice; I bet you'll always find grammar mistakes. Try it.

Number agreement: Be careful with plurals in adjectives! For instance"difficults situations," "excellents results." Expressions such as anybody, everybody and everything have a plural connotation, but must ALWAYS be considered singular in your sentences. The word "people" is always plural.


Unnecesary expressions: "I am going to write about...", "In my humble opinion", "maybe", "I have to say it.
