How to say "Please correct my sentences"?


Is it: 文章を治てください？

There are many words for "correct' including 改める, 正す, 訂する, but it's not clear
when to use those words or which is "correct" in this context.




文章を[直]{なお}してください is fine. You can also say 書いた文を[訂正]{ていせい}してください because 訂正
gets used a lot and implies that you gotta correct something. You don't use
[正]{ただ}す, [訂]{てい}する in daily speech and [改]{あらた}める is used for intangible
things like behavior or speech.

PS for the Korean version look at the very bottom of this page.

## CLARIFICATION

  1. [訂正]{ていせい} means _fix an error_ and implies that you know there is some error. When a worker creates a piece of work (designs a poster, writes a manual, makes an excel spreadsheet) and you find an error, you can tell them to「訂正してください」 which is the same as 「直してください」

  2. [添削]{てんさく}, recommended in the comments, means to _go over someone's **writing** and correct it if necessary_, and may apply to your case. You can use it for written papers and exams, but not for math tests (where the error would be a math error as opposed to spelling or grammar)

If you are not sure which to go for, I suggest saying something more general
like
