B2 Spanish Grammar Editing and Reformulation
B2 Spanish grammar editing is meaning-preserving diagnosis. First identify the intended timeline and stance, then repair reference and logical links, and finally choose a consistent register and the clearest active, passive, impersonal, verbal, or nominal form.
B2 editing pass
meaning/time → mood/tense → reference/agreement → connector logic → register/concision
Edit in a stable order so a stylistic rewrite does not conceal a grammatical or meaning error.
B2 grammar editing checklist
| Pass | Question | Typical repair |
|---|---|---|
| time and mood | What is asserted, hypothetical, earlier, or later? | habría terminado → hubiera terminado after cuando in the reported frame |
| reference | Is every pronoun/possessive unambiguous? | su informe → el informe de Marta |
| agreement | Which noun controls person, number, or gender? | repair verb/participle/relative agreement |
| connector logic | Does the connector express the intended relation? | replace decorative or contradictory connector |
| register and concision | Is agency clear and wording proportionate? | Se procederá a efectuar → Nuestro equipo enviará |
Preserve the intended meaning while improving correctness, clarity, and register.
