Guide
Revise a short fictional paragraph without changing its meaning. Explain one useful correction, then try that pattern in a new sentence.

Use this fictional team update to practise a small, faithful edit. You can correct it yourself or copy the prompt into one approved assistant; this worksheet does not run a writing model. For your own text, remove names and confidential information. Decide whether you need grammar help, a different tone or a translation before asking. Here the job is grammar. The team has enough to do without a sentence quietly inventing a product launch.

Fictional teaching draft — the English mistakes are intentional. [E1] Draft: “Our team finish the test yesterday. We are waiting approval. The result look promising, but we have not checked every case. We will review the remaining cases on Friday. We do not have a release date yet.” [E2] Keep these facts: the test ended yesterday; approval is still pending; some cases remain unchecked; a review is planned for Friday; no release date is known. [E3] “Promising” is the writer’s opinion. No measurement, score, customer feedback or proof of success is supplied. [E4] Make the fewest grammar corrections needed. Keep a short, ordinary team-update tone. Do not translate the paragraph, add details or assign a proficiency level. Keep E1–E4 when adapting the example. If a sentence’s meaning is unclear, ask the writer rather than picking the more impressive version.
Use only the supplied English draft, intended meaning and editing constraints. Return the full corrected paragraph, then a short change list with exact original phrase, replacement and reason. Make necessary grammar corrections; keep optional style advice separate and out of the corrected paragraph. Preserve the actual facts, work status, uncertainty and opinions. For fictional E1–E4, retain pending approval, unchecked cases, Friday’s review and the unknown release date; do not add these facts to another draft. Do not turn promising into proof of success. Do not add an audience, product, measurement, learner level or score. If a wording change would choose between two plausible meanings, ask for clarification before changing it. End with one new practice sentence using the relevant grammar patterns and a separately labelled key. Source:
Corrected paragraph: “Our team finished the test yesterday. We are waiting for approval. The result looks promising, but we have not checked every case. We will review the remaining cases on Friday. We do not have a release date yet.” Three grammar corrections: 1. “finish” → “finished”: “yesterday” places this completed action in the past [E1–E2]. 2. “waiting approval” → “waiting for approval”: use “wait for” before the thing being awaited. Approval is still pending [E2]. 3. “result look” → “result looks”: the singular subject “result” takes “looks” in the present tense. The opinion is unchanged [E3]. Leave the other sentences alone. “We will review” remains future work; “have not checked every case” and “do not have a release date yet” keep their limits. No optional style rewrite is needed to make this paragraph grammatical [E4]. Wrong upgrade: “The successful test confirms we are ready to launch on Friday.” It invents success and readiness, converts a review date into a launch date, and loses pending approval and unchecked cases. Repair it by returning to the corrected paragraph above, not by finding a softer word for the invented launch. Try this sentence before reading the key: “Our group complete the review yesterday, and it is waiting confirmation.” Separate practice key: “Our group completed the review yesterday, and it is waiting for confirmation.” “Completed” keeps the past action; “waiting for” keeps confirmation pending. This sentence is a separate fictional practice item, not an extra fact about the original team. Optional wording choices are not automatically grammar errors. For example, “awaiting approval” can be grammatical too, but it is a different wording choice and is not needed for this minimal edit.
Compare the corrected paragraph with E1–E4. Are all five original sentences present? Can you point to each of the three grammar changes and explain it? Are approval and some checks still pending, is Friday still the review date, and is the release date still unknown? Does “promising” remain an opinion without a new measurement? Remove any new fact even if the sentence sounds smoother. Keep optional wording advice out of the list of required corrections. If you cannot explain a change, check a suitable grammar reference or ask a teacher; agreement between two assistants is not proof. Revise your draft, then tick the checks below. A checked grammar exercise is not a grade or a guarantee that the underlying team update is true.
Copy the reviewed paragraph and the change list before leaving; edited worksheet text is not saved. Try the new practice sentence without its key, then explain the corrections in your own words. Record any point that still needs help rather than assigning yourself a level from one paragraph. If your real text includes an outside factual claim, use the citation-check Task below to verify its source before sharing. That is an optional fact-checking step, not another grammar tool you must use. Completion here means you prepared and checked an edit, not that your writing ability has been measured.
