List four things to look for when you're proofreading.

A trip to the ocean can be a relaxing escape from the everyday pressures of life. A sailboat glistening on the horizon provides a mental escape to faraway places. The rhythm of the ocean beating against the sand is sedating music to a troubled mind. A slow, gentle breeze can relax your tensions. You should always be careful to avoid overexposure to the sun at the beach.

The four things to look for while proofreading are spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization

Sidney Atkinson · Answer 2

Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization are the answers.

Explanation:

Spelling refers to how the words are written properly and it is one of the four areas.

The second one is grammar, which refers to agreement among all the parts of the sentence, such as subject-verb or the correct form of the verbs according to the tense.

Punctuation is the third one, and it refers to how commas, colons, periods, among others, are correctly used in the speech.

Finally, capitalization refers to use capitals in the correct way, such as for names (people, places,) and acronyms, among other elements of the speech.
