Grammar accuracy is the focus of this Grade 12 ELA writing resource, helping students examine how grammar choices affect clear meaning and professional readability. Using an Ontario framework, the resource develops practical editing skills with verb tense, subject–verb agreement, pronoun reference, sentence structure, modal verbs, and conditionals.

Core Grammar and Editing Skills

• Apply consistent verb tense so readers can follow when actions occur.
• Use subject–verb agreement accurately in sentences.
• Revise pronouns so their references and antecedents remain clear.
• Identify and repair sentence fragments and run-on sentences.
• Use modal verbs such as might, should, and must precisely.
• Recognize conditional relationships and choose forms that match intended meaning.

Practice Through Context and Revision

A focused reading passage introduces the relationship between grammar accuracy and meaning before students apply the concepts through multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, concise short answers, matching, a cloze passage, and an extended response. Questions address verb tense, agreement, pronoun clarity, complete sentences, run-on sentence revision, modal verbs, conditional relationships, and grammatical accuracy.

The extended response brings the skills together by asking students to explain how grammar accuracy supports clear and professional writing. Students consider how errors in tense, agreement, pronoun references, sentence structure, modals, and conditionals can affect interpretation.

Useful for Writing-Focused Classroom Practice
