Solution
Understand the method, then try it yourself
Practice sentence structure, punctuation, and grammar by seeing the reason for each revision. Paste the sentence and explain whether you need formal academic English or another style. For literary analysis, include the passage so the explanation can point to actual words in the text.
Worked example
Correct this sentence: The list of items are on the desk.
- Find the subject of the clause: list. The phrase of items modifies list but is not the subject.
- List is singular, so it takes the singular verb is.
- The corrected sentence is: The list of items is on the desk. Test it by removing the modifying phrase: The list is on the desk.
Tips for a useful explanation
- Find the main subject before choosing the verb.
- Read a revised sentence aloud to check clarity.
- For an essay, use feedback to revise your own argument and preserve your voice.
Read the worked steps, check the result against the original question, and explain the method in your own words. If a step is unclear, include your attempt and ask about that step. AI can make mistakes; verify the reasoning and use the assistance your teacher permits.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the plural word items not control the verb here?
It appears inside a prepositional phrase. The head of the subject is the singular noun list, so the verb agrees with list.
Can I upload a photo or type a question?
Yes. Use a clear, well-lit photo with the whole question visible, or type the prompt. Include any diagram, units, and instructions needed to interpret it.
