Ok, this has blogged this before, http://www.copyblogger.com/grammar-goofs/
Refresher, and some additional points:
1. Pay attention to verb tense. A singular subject takes one form of a verb, a plural subject takes another. A very common verb "is" is used thus. "He, she, or it is" vs. "They are". Use "is" and "are" correctly and you look smarter.

2. "It is" is a contraction and can be spelled it's (with an apostrophe). When something belongs to something else, it's not a contraction and is spelled "its" (without an apostrophe).
3. "You are" can be spelled as a contraction "you're". When you own something, it's spelled differently, as in "your website".
Read the website above, memorize the principles, and your writing will look smarter. People pay attention to that. When a website contains grammar errors, people will give it less consideration.
