Writeacher, I'm finding it difficult to check these sentences, which need to be revised grammatically.
1) The Tempest is the last one of Shakespeare’s plays. It’s very different from his previous ones.
In fact it is not a tragedy, like Macbeth or Hamlet, but a romance based on forgiveness and reconciliation. These are the main themes of the play, as we can see in its conclusion when Prospero forgives his brother.
2) Furthermore, there are two more very significant themes in the play: the magic powers which both Prospero and Sycorax can use and which lead the whole story, and colonialism, represented by Prospero when he subdues all the original island’s inhabitants.

To check these sentences and revise them grammatically, you can follow these steps:
1) Break down the sentences into separate clauses or ideas:
- The Tempest is the last one of Shakespeare's plays.
- It's very different from his previous ones.
- It is not a tragedy, like Macbeth or Hamlet, but a romance based on forgiveness and reconciliation.
- The main themes of the play are forgiveness and reconciliation, as seen in its conclusion when Prospero forgives his brother.
2) Analyze each clause or idea for grammatical errors:
- The sentence structure and grammar of the first clause in the first sentence seem to be correct.
- In the second clause, "It's" should be written as "It is."
- In the second sentence, "as we can see" should be removed for clarity and conciseness.
3) Revise the sentences accordingly:
- The Tempest is the last of Shakespeare's plays. It is very different from his previous ones.
- It is not a tragedy like Macbeth or Hamlet, but a romance based on forgiveness and reconciliation. These themes are evident in its conclusion when Prospero forgives his brother.
4) Repeat the process for the second set of sentences:
- Break down the sentences into separate clauses or ideas:
- Furthermore, there are two more significant themes in the play: the magic powers used by both Prospero and Sycorax, which drive the entire story, and colonialism represented by Prospero when he subdues all the original inhabitants of the island.
5) Analyze each clause or idea for grammatical errors:
- The sentence structure and grammar of the first clause in the second set of sentences seem to be correct.
- In the second clause, "the whole story" can be changed to "the entire story" for better flow and clarity.
6) Revise the sentences accordingly:
- Furthermore, there are two more significant themes in the play: the magic powers used by both Prospero and Sycorax, which drive the entire story, and colonialism represented by Prospero when he subdues all the original inhabitants of the island.
By following these steps, you can analyze and revise the sentences to improve their grammar and clarity.
