we can group all sentence correction rules into major categories.

So, here's what I’ll do: I’ll give you a comprehensive, categorized list of all sentence correction
rules, broken down in a way that's exhaustive yet practical for study.

🌍 ALL ENGLISH SENTENCE CORRECTION RULES (Comprehensive Guide)

🟩 1. Subject-Verb Agreement Rules

 Singular subject = singular verb

 Plural subject = plural verb

 “Each,” “every,” “either,” “neither” = singular

 Collective nouns: singular if acting as one unit

🟩 2. Tense Rules

 Maintain consistent tense in a sentence

 Use correct past perfect for earlier past events

 Use future perfect for something completed before another future point

 Conditional tenses (If + past, would + base verb, etc.)

🟩 3. Pronoun Rules

 Pronoun must agree with the noun it replaces (in gender and number)

 Avoid vague or ambiguous pronouns

  “Who” = subject, “Whom” = object

 Reflexive pronouns: used only when subject and object are the same

 "Its" (possessive), "It’s" = "It is"

🟩 4. Modifiers

 Misplaced Modifier: Modifier too far from what it modifies
