§ Grammar Correction · Sentence-level fixes

Sentence-level grammar correction by a PhD subject editor — your prose fixed, your argument left untouched.

Articles, tense, subject–verb agreement, prepositions, register, run-ons, dangling modifiers, word choice. A PhD subject editor reads each sentence and fixes what is wrong, then returns a clean, corrected file. Your argument is untouched — only the prose around it changes.

  • 01A clean, corrected file. Every fix already applied — open it and keep writing. Nothing to accept, tidy up, or reformat before you submit.
  • 02Eight error categories, one editor. The same person who fixes your articles also fixes your tense and your register. No hand-offs, no inconsistencies between paragraphs.
  • 03Argument preserved, voice preserved. We correct grammar; we do not rewrite ideas. If a sentence says something we disagree with, it still says it after our pass — just grammatically.
  • 0414,000+ chapters edited since 2013. Theses, journal submissions, dissertations across thirty-plus disciplines.

§ 03 · The method

Why a person corrects grammar better than a checker ever will.

01

Grammar in context, not in isolation

A checker flags every "data is" as wrong; a subject editor reads the surrounding paragraph and decides. Sometimes the collective singular is what your discipline prefers — and it stays. We correct grammar that breaks meaning, not grammar that simply differs from the textbook.

02

Articles, the way English actually works

A · an · the is the single hardest area for non-native writers and the one no checker gets right. Our editors fix it from the meaning of your sentence — definite vs. indefinite, generic vs. specific, count vs. mass — not from a confidence score. Most chapters come back with thirty to sixty article fixes; the difference in readability is immediate.

03

Delivered ready to submit

You receive a clean, corrected file with every fix already applied — nothing to accept, tidy up, or reformat. Drop it straight into your submission, or send it to your supervisor as a finished chapter.

§ 04 · Catalogue

What we correct, indexed by class.

A working list, not exhaustive. Punctuation, hyphenation, capitalisation, and discipline-specific spelling (BrE / AmE) are corrected as part of the same pass — at no extra fee. If your supervisor has a list of pet hates, send it; we honour it.

Articles & determiners

  • Definite vs. indefinite (a · an · the)
  • Generic vs. specific reference
  • Count vs. mass nouns · zero article
  • Demonstratives (this · that · these)
  • Quantifiers (much · many · few · little)

Tense & aspect

  • Original tense structure is preserved throughout
  • Past, present, and perfect forms remain unchanged
  • Methodology and findings tense consistency is maintained
  • Author voice and reporting tense are retained
  • Hedging and conditional academic phrasing are preserved

Agreement & concord

  • Subject–verb · compound subjects
  • Collective nouns by discipline
  • Each · every · either · neither
  • Quantified expressions ("a number of")
  • Pronoun–antecedent agreement

Prepositions & idiom

  • Verb + preposition pairings
  • Adjective + preposition pairings
  • Phrasal verbs in academic register
  • Comparison: "different from / to / than"
  • Time, place, and abstract uses

Sentence structure

  • Run-ons & comma splices
  • Fragments & hanging clauses
  • Dangling & misplaced modifiers
  • Parallelism in lists & series
  • Sentence length & rhythm

Register & word choice

  • Colloquial → formal academic
  • Vague verbs → precise verbs
  • Hedging language (may · suggests)
  • Wordiness · nominalisation balance
  • Discipline-specific terminology

Questions

FAQ

  • Grammar correction stays at the sentence level — articles, tense, agreement, prepositions, register, run-ons, modifiers, and word choice. Copy-editing goes further: paragraph-level reorganisation, argument tightening, and structural suggestions. If your draft needs structural rework, ask about our Copy-Editing service at quote — it is priced separately and bundled at a discount when ordered together.
