Hello everyone,

Can you please help me in avoiding mistakes in writing in English ?

When I write essays , even when I write on the board , I make mistakes unconsciously , then, when I come back home, I realize that my mistakes are stupid !!
I should clarify one thing: the mistakes that I make are like this for instance: Writting --- instead of writing. ( I either add or omit letters) is this bad ?
So would you please help me , or at least advise me how may I avoid mistakes while writing ? I would be thankful.

If you can realise that they're mistakes, then leave some time before sending/publishing something to allow the correction mechanism to kick in.
 
I am sorry but I could not really understand the meaning !

Todol is tellling you to do the following -
1. Write something
2. Set it aside and do something else
3. After some time, re-read what you have written
4. Check each word for mistakes (this is called editing)
5. Rewrite your text with corrections

A. Do not put a space after a word before a punctuation mark - board, not board ,
B. The most difficult part of writing is in the editing.
C. Edit everything you write.
 
Microsoft office word can correct my spelling and gramma mistakes. And I also check my sentence by google.
 
Yes, it works Lyra_E, i agree, but that is not the exact way. No doubt, the instructions that Gillnetter provided need to be followed if someone want to become writer.

Mistakes are usually unavoidable in writing because its in those mistakes that we make that we can be better...
