Hi everyone,

Is it correct to say:

  • I marked the examinations of my students. There was one who made three mistakes, so he scored 97 out of 100?

Headmaster to one of his teachers: ‘You know that student has dysorthography, would you please take that into account when you mark his examination?’

Thanks

“I marked my students’ examinations” would be more common.

Is ‘I’ll take that into account natural’ or is there another expression?
