- Change "thinks" to "think" (subject-verb agreement: "People" is plural).
- Change "are the same thing but they are not" to "are the same thing, but they are not" (add comma before coordinating conjunction "but").
- Change "Some Examples of editing include correcting a runon sentence" to "Some examples of editing include correcting a run-on sentence" (lowercase "examples", hyphenate "run-on").
- Change "revising a sentence that is structured in a way that is confusing, such as correcting a dangling modifier." to "revising a sentence that is structured in a way that is confusing—for example, correcting a dangling modifier." (replace comma with em dash for stronger break, replace "such as" with "for example" for better flow).
- Change "Proofreading, on the other hand, does not involve modifying text. It is focused on finding and correcting errors, such as misspeled words or incorrect punctuation?" to "Proofreading, on the other hand, does not involve modifying text; it is focused on finding and correcting errors, such as misspelled words or incorrect punctuation." (replace period with semicolon to join two closely related independent clauses, correct spelling of "misspelled", change question mark to period).
- Change "proofread is the last step" to "proofreading is the last step" (correct subject: gerund "proofreading" matches the context).
