Please go over your paper with the following in mind. Thanks to PsyDAG for the following:
In the future, if nobody is available to proofread your work, you can do this yourself. After writing your material, put it aside for a day — at least several hours. (This breaks mental sets you might have that keep you from noticing problems.) Then read it aloud as if you were reading someone else's work. (Reading aloud slows down your reading, so you are less likely to skip over problems.)
(You can also either read it aloud to someone else or have someone else read it aloud to you! The latter works really well!)
If your reading goes smoothly, that is fine. However, wherever you "stumble" in your reading, other people are likely to have a problem in reading your material. Those "stumbles" indicate areas that need revising.
Once you have made your revisions, repeat the process above. Good papers often require many drafts.

Thanks so much !! :) do teachers email here or not? I edited my English thing a lot so just wanted it to be looked over.
No, we don't email.
No, sorry, we do not work via email.
I'm not sure anyone has time to read and edit a whole paper, but if you post the paragraph (or at most two paragraphs) that you question the most, someone might.
Also, be sure to ask to have the thread deleted after a certain time.

If you post it here, it will be public!
You can ask that it be deleted after a certain amount of time, but it would be public until then.
