homework help: What are the following: incorrect comma placement, wrong verb - Help.com

Incorrect comma placement: a comma used were it shouldn’t be.
Wrong verb tense: As in “I went home” where you want “I am going home.” Problems are more likely to arise with tenses like “have been going” and “had been going.” (I don’t remember the names of those tenses.)
Misplaced Modifier: a modifying word or clause is placed in a sentence so that it modifies a word or phrase other than what is intended. I.e. “Having killed its prey, the photographer left the tiger alone.” In this sentence, “having killed its prey” is obviously meant to refer to the tiger, but its placement indicates that it modifies the tiger.
Wrong word: Are you serious? “The stranger gave the woman a nice complement.” (”Complement” should be “compliment.”)
Comma splice: A comma is used where a period or semicolon should be used.
Pronoun and antecedent number problem: “The man handed in their paper.” (”his paper” would be correct.)
S-V agreement: I is going to the play. (Should be “I am”)
The next one: You need a comma after an introductory adverbial clause (or any other introductory clause).
Fragment: “I went to the.”
Run-on: “I went to the store and bought some things and then I went to the other store and killed a man, and then I listened to Pink Floyd and I love candy.”
Don’t do that.
Wrong case. . . subject:I’m pretty sure this is just a capitalization error.
Incorrect plural form: Something like “mooses” or “childrens” or “childs” or “mans” or “womans.” Pretty much any word that’s pluralized like German or that doesn’t change in the plural form can be easily mispluralized (not a word) by someone not familiar with the correct term.

my 5th grarer is having a hard time with the proper placement of comas. Do you have a worksheet or a sheetsheet to help?

I just realized I typed “were” instead “where” in my original reply. I also said, “its placement indicates that it modifies the tiger” where I meant “…modifies the photographer.” Sorry for any confusion that may have caused anyone.
