 Each manual has its own directory in this repository (for example, the Checking Manual is in the [checking](https://git.door43.org/unfoldingWord/en_ta/src/branch/master/checking) directory). Each module has its own directory inside of these manual directories. Inside each of these are three files:
 
 * `01.md` - This is the main body of the module
-* `sub-title.md` - This file contians the question that the module is intended to answer.
+* `sub-title.md` - This file contains the question that the module is intended to answer.
 * `title.md` - This contains the title of the module
 
 There are also YAML formatted files in each manual’s directory. The `toc.yaml` file is for encoding the Table of Contents and the `config.yaml` file is for encoding dependencies between the modules.
