Option 1

 * Article title
 * Uses of English verb forms
 * Uses of English verb forms
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant and neutrally written. I think it could use a better synopsis at the beginning, and it seems to be missing a lot of in-text citations, and there's only one link listed under references. The links posted under notes are working. I'm not sure what the difference is between notes and references. It covers linguistics, which is an undercovered (?) topic.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Nominative absolute


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content is relevant and neutrally written, although it does not seem complete, as it's a stub article. There are no in-text citations, and there is only one reference listed


 * Sources
 * Absolute Constructions from the American Heritage Book of English Usage (1996).

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Colloquialism


 * Article Evaluation
 * The content of this article is relevant and neutrally written. There are several citations, although there was one spot at the end that indicated "citation needed". It is a short article, but I'm not sure how much there really is to say on the subject. I'm not sure if it could benefit from some examples.
 * Sources
 * The source links I tried all worked.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Present continuous


 * Article Evaluation
 * The synopsis at the beginning of the article didn't seem complete or written clearly/concisely. It didn't have a content box at the top that listed subparts of the article. The info was relevant and neutral, albeit only a small amount.


 * Sources
 * The articles states that it needs more citations, although it looked like everything was cited and the links worked.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * English collocations


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is rated as a start article, and, while the information is relevant, it is sparce. The beginning synopsis was clear and concise, and, as far as I can tell, it is neutral.


 * Sources
 * It is missing a lot of in-text citations.
