The Editing and Revising portion of the Connecticut Mastery Test measures the basic elements of grammar. After reading a short passage, students complete a multiple choice test where they practice editing sentences for subject-verb agreement, sentence tense, punctuation, and capitalization.

An important Tip to Remember when completing this part of the test is:

The most commonly misspelled and/or misused words are: their/they're/there; hear/here; your/you're; its/it's; through/threw; and the pronoun I.

Practice (correct grammar, usage, and spelling errors in each of these example):

1. Athens, a city in greece named after athena, the greek goddess of war and wisdom.

2. In Greek myth, centaurs were half man and half horse apparently, that did not seam totally weird too people back than.

3. In japan its considered good luck to cross the path of an black cat.
