Spelling mistakes are avoidable by using a dictionary.
ANASTASIA: A good solution:-)
Passive to Active
Joanne could have avoided making spelling mistakes if she had used a dictionary.
JOANNE: Nice work!
A dictionary could have been used to avoid spelling mistakes.
DANIEL:That's still the passive--could have been avoided.
