The following provides an overview of common grammar errors, especially those associated with depending on fallible spellcheckers. Spellcheckers (for purposes of this tutorial this includes grammar-checkers) continue to improve. However, many errors exist that a spellchecker might not catch. No easy trick exists to bypass this complication. Instead, make your use of correct grammar a habit rather than relying on the spellchecker to find your mistakes. Habitual use of correct grammar gives you insurance against spellcheckers and helps develop your overall writing and editing abilities.
Note: incorrect sentences appear throughout this tutorial in red. Additionally, an index of correct and incorrect sample sentences appears in Sections 15 and 16.
