I before E, except after C:

Follow the rule "I before E, except after C" in words, unless the
combination creates a long "A" sound, as in "neighbor" or "weigh."

Silent E:
When adding a suffix that begins with a vowel to a word ending in a single
consonant preceded by a single vowel, double the final consonant before adding the
suffix. For example, "hop" becomes "hopping."

Pluralization:
Most nouns form the plural by adding "s" to the singular form. For words
ending in "s," "x," "z," "sh," or "ch," add "es" to form the plural.

Common Homophones:
Be mindful of homophones (words that sound the same but have different
meanings and spellings). Examples include "their," "there," and "they're."

Contractions:
Use apostrophes in contractions to represent omitted letters. For example,
"can't" for "cannot" and "it's" for "it is" or "it has."

Capitalization:
Capitalize the first word in a sentence, proper nouns, and titles.
Lowercase letters are used for common nouns.

Hyphens:
Use hyphens to connect compound words or phrases, especially when they are
used as adjectives.
Example: well-known author
Example: up-to-date information

Affect vs. Effect:

"Affect" is usually a verb, while "effect" is usually a noun. Remember:
"The movie affected me deeply," and "The new law had a positive effect."

Its vs. It's:

"Its" is a possessive pronoun, while "it's" is a contraction for "it is" or
"it has."

Dangling Participle:
Ensure that participles (verb forms ending in -ing or -ed) are correctly
connected to the nouns they modify, avoiding dangling participles.
