This is the grammar appendix which is included in Margaret Aherne’s Copyediting: A guide for proofreaders but is also available to buy as a standalone resource. This resource explores some of the most common grammar issues that copyeditors are required to tackle, including:

  • Active versus passive
  • ‘And/But’ at the start of a sentence
  • Dangling participles
  • Incomplete sentences
  • Less/Fewer
  • Split infinitives
  • That/Which, and defining/non-defining clauses
