Editing and redrafting, sentence 1

Editing means improving the writing (a stronger word, a clearer order, a missing sentence), while proofreading means hunting the small slips: spelling, punctuation and the tense that wandered from "went" to "go".

Who acts: Editing, proofreading, tense · What happens: mean, improve, hunt, wander, go · To what, where: writing, small slips

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-agree ×3, R8-pos-agree ×2. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
