Is this plagiarism?

I wrote an article in Spanish for my Spanish class and had someone go over it. They corrected it. The thing is, mine was not so great to begin with, but with the corrections made it was good. I did all the writing and the ideas and everything was mine, but i had help on some of the grammer and vocab with the article…. is this considered plagerism?

My teacher wants to talk to me because it was so good and i am not the best student. I am worried she might think it was plagerism!

What do you think? I wrote it, but someone corrected it to make it good…. is this bad?

It depends on what the test was.

If it was to test your knowledge of the subject, I think what you did was fine, as long as you go over the corrections and learn from them.

If the test was of writing ability, then you clearly cheated.

Have prepared to show your teacher the original without the corrections and copy the post in Yahoo and the answers.

Just tell the teacher you wrote it and had someone proof read it for you.

no its not, because it was your work, it was just proof read. I would be more concerned that the Spanish words were profanity…….grins…good luck
