Before & after
How we edit
Expert comment
ExampleOriginal
The data was collected from 312 participant and analyzed by using the regression.
Edited
Data were collected from 312 participants and analyzed using regression analysis.
Many fields treat “data” as plural, so the verb becomes “were”, and “participant” becomes plural to match the count. “by using the” is wordy, so it's shortened to “using”.
