1. After you compose your message, you need to proofread. The proofreading process may take longer than the composition process. You dont want to spend a lot of time composing the message and then let poor grammar or punctuation prevent your audience from comprehending it.

What should you do when proofreading a complex document? Check all that apply.

-Print a double-spaced copy and set it aside for at least a day.

-Read the document quickly and check for grammatical errors.

-Make sure you are the only one who reads it.

-Read the document at least twice.

2. When proofreading for grammer errors. First locate the subject of the sentence. Then, you should double-check the agreement of nouns and antecedents as well as the agreement of subject and predicate. The grammar check on the computer may be helpful, but should not replace manual proofreading.
