👉 The act of correcting.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve got the dictionary right there, saying “the act of correcting,” which is a good start, it’s true. But let’s dig a little deeper, shall we? “Correction” isn't just doing something right – it’s about making things better, you see! It means pointing out where something wasn’t quite perfect, and offering a way to fix it. Think of it like this: if I say "My sentence was 'I goed to the store'," you might correct me with “It should be ‘I went.’” That's correction in action, isn't it? It can be about grammar, or spelling, or even a mistake in a plan. It’s about gently guiding someone towards what’s best, so they learn and grow. So, correction means to point out an error and offer a way to improve – a little nudge to make things shine! Do you have any questions about that, or would you like me to give you another example?
