Number your pages before you…
Print out a final copy and read through carefully. In this day and age of sustainability, print on the back of scrap paper. The research shows that proofreading on a computer screen is never as accurate reading a hard copy.
Make sure the capitals (Großschreibung) are correct: a. Place a capital at the beginning of a sentence. b. Capitalize
i. The first word at the beginning of a line ii. The days of the week and the months iii. Nationalities, languages and countries iv. Proper nouns, places and things.
Place a punctuation mark at the end of a sentence (.!?).
If the word “of” is used more than once in a sentence, check if you can say it another way.
Think “verb”. English is a verb-based language. German today is a noun-based language (In the days of Goethe, it was also a verb-based language.) If you can change a noun into a verb, the sentence will sound more active in English and will be easier for your audience to remember. Example:
The sales increase went up by 15%. Sales increased by 15%.
