Editing Checklist

Some our common mistakes writing are: Run-On, Comma Splice, Tense, Spelling, Preposition, Comma/Spaces/Hard returns, Fragment, Subject-Verb Agreement.
I try to correct the exercise that our teacher, Joseph, gave us in the class:
1-      Pushpa goes to the store, because her husband, Kathigesu, is lazy. Also she doesn’t drive. She buys rice which weighs over a ton!
2-      O Canada, our home and native land, true patriot love, in all thy sons command!
3-      I went to sears with my family last week. Because it was raining, we didn’t drive. We took a taxi there. When we arrived, the store had closed.
4-      When they opened the window, it was raining. Even though we love soccer, we decided not to go to the stadium.
5-      We went to the mall even though we had no money. Johnny and Jimmy like to eat Italian spaghetti very much.
6-      In Montreal, he finally applied for PR. She likes to look at nature. So she enjoys taking pictures of leaves turning color in autumn.
7-      Every day we go to LINC class, and Sharon feels very tired after five hours. She must study harder. Last term she got 40% for ESL.
8-      After MicroSkills LINC, Kanesh moved to Vancouver and worked at Whistler Ski Resort.
9-      Pushpa  went to the store. Although he was tired, Kathigesu went with her. They took a train there.
