          <p class="mb-2">
            <strong>Spelling correction</strong> is the process of finding and fixing words that are not written in their
            <em>standard dictionary form</em>. In exams, a single incorrect letter can make an answer wrong.
          </p>
          <p class="mb-2">
            You improve at spelling correction by learning:
          </p>
          <ul class="mb-2">
            <li>Commonly confused word pairs (e.g. <em>separate</em>, not <s>seperate</s>).</li>
            <li>Typical patterns of error (double letters, silent letters, <em>-ie/-ei</em> confusion).</li>
            <li>Differences between <strong>British</strong> and <strong>American</strong> spellings.</li>
          </ul>

<div class="alert alert-info small mb-3">
            <strong>Quick idea:</strong> Spelling errors follow patterns. If you can name the pattern, you can usually correct the word.
