Mistake Hunter

In this editing worksheet, students analyze sentences that may use “few,” “a few,” or “the few” incorrectly. They rewrite each sentence correctly or mark it as correct if no change is needed. This activity enhances proofreading and reinforces understanding of how quantifiers affect tone and meaning. Learners practice identifying errors related to scarcity versus selectiveness. The exercise develops accuracy, grammar awareness, and editing confidence.
