because: The word because was missing in the original update. Patriots won a Superbowl: Patriots and Superbowl should be capitalized because they are proper nouns. Won should be used as it is the past tense form of the verb. quarterback: The full word quarterback should be written, or you could also use capital letters to abbreviate (QB). all time. Now,: This was a run on sentence, so end punctuation is added. A comma is also included after the word now as it is an introductory element. changes, controversies, or reprimands: Commas separate items in a series. thrown: Thrown was misspelled. their: While there refers to a place, their refers to possession/belonging. © Presto Plans
