might look for errors of capitalization, punctuation, spelling, or grammar.

year Children and adults dress in costumes and go door-to-door asking for candy.
Some people hoste partys and serve Halloween treats such as caramel apples, pop

Sure, let's identify and correct the errors in the paragraph:

"Haloween" should be "Halloween."
"the last day of October every year" could be "on the last day of October every year."
"Hoste" should be "host."
"partys" should be "parties."
"Halloween" should be capitalized.
"pop corn" should be "popcorn."
"cidar" should be "cider."
"spookey" should be "spooky."
"it" in "watching spookey movies" should be capitalized.
I found 10 errors in the paragraph.
