quljIb, did you mean "I correct the sentence I wrote"? If so, here are
a couple of pointers.
When you translate "the sentence I wrote" into Klingon, you need to
recognize that it's short for "the sentence *which* I wrote". It's a
relative clause, and gets the relative-clause marker {-bogh}:
{mu'tlhegh vIghItlhpu'bogh}.
{jIlugh} means "I am correct." To express the idea of correcting
something, you must use the suffix {-moH}: {vIlughmoH} "I correct it,
I make it correct."
