Select Show Details to reveal a summary of your issues. The four Issue categories that Grammar Guide uses to search against:

• Grammar - The basic structure of language, in this case, US-English.

• Mechanics - Language rules regarding the use of punctuation, capitalization, and spacing.

• Usage - How and when to use words and their variations based on the context. Focuses more on the meaning of the word rather than the mechanics.

• Structure - The arrangement of words, phrases, and clauses to make up a sentence.

Turnitin does not search for spelling mistakes (usually falls under the Mechanics category), but it may detect some suspected typos.

 What can I do with the information included in my checks?

Use the information in your Grammar Guide to inform changes that you should make in your draft. Consider the following when viewing your Grammar Guide results:

• Choose one specific issue to review at a time. Use the arrows within the issue tile to navigate between each instance of that specific issue found within your draft.

• Read each issue description carefully and bear it in mind when you construct the rest of your draft or when making amendments.

• You may determine that no revisions are necessary for a particular issue. Use the rules of the English language and your best judgment when evaluating your writing.

• Run as many checks as you like, until you are confident with your final draft.
