m
Possible spelling mistakes found. Possibly missing comma found. It seems likely that a singular genitive (’s) apostrophe is missing. Did you mean “on April”? This seems to be a day date.
m (Some style guides suggest that commas should set off the year in a month-day-year date. Use a comma before ‘so’ if it connects two independent clauses (unless they are closely connected and short). Other potentially missing commas found. The word “follow-up” is a noun. The verb is spelled with a space.) |
