Name the 7 golden rules of MG11 statement writing

Chronological order, first person/past tense, plain English no jargon, facts only no opinion, one sentence one fact, specifics not vague language, written close to the time

What tense and person should a statement be written in?

First person, past tense ("I saw," "I heard")

What are the 5 parts of an MG11 structure?

Declaration header, Introduction, Body (chronological account), Continuity/exhibit references, Conclusion

Name 3 common MG11 mistakes

Switching tense mid-statement, vague time references ("a while later"), omitting how you know something (e.g. PNC check vs direct observation)

Why must you state HOW you know a fact (e.g. PNC check vs witnessed)?

So the reader can distinguish direct observation from information obtained another way — stating it as if observed yourself when it wasn't is a serious error
