Writing — popular questions

Writing homework includes grammar drills, style revisions, citation formatting (MLA, APA, Chicago), and structural feedback on student drafts. Acemy's writing catalog gives each correction with the rule named ("comma splice", "misplaced modifier", "passive voice in active context") so you build the vocabulary teachers use, then shows the corrected version.

Style suggestions are tied to a specific style guide rather than personal preference. Citation examples follow the latest edition (MLA 9th, APA 7th). Where multiple valid revisions exist, the answer presents two or three options so you can choose the tone that fits your draft.

Before reading a correction, identify the issue yourself and name the rule. The Pitfall section flags the rules students most commonly misremember (which vs. that, fewer vs. less, who vs. whom). The variant section gives a sentence with the same error in a different context so you practice the rule, not the specific sentence.
