-A helpful (but slightly wrong) way to think about $G/N$ is that is consist of all elements in $G%$ that are not elements of $N$. A subgroup $N$ is defined through some special condition that its members must fulfil. Formulated differently: elements of $N$ are elements of $G$ that have some special property.
+A helpful (but slightly wrong) way to think about $G/N$ is that it consist of all elements in $G%$ that are not elements of $N$. A subgroup $N$ is defined through some special condition that its members must fulfil. Formulated differently: elements of $N$ are elements of $G$ that have some special property.
  For example, the subgroup $n\mathbb{Z}$ of $\mathbb{Z}$ consist of all integers that are a multiple of $n$. (More explicitly: members of $3\mathbb{Z}\subset\mathbb{Z}$  are all integers that are divisible by $3$). Or another example: the subgroup $SO(N)$ of $O(N)$ consists of all $N \times N$ matrices with determinant equal to $1$. Now, $G/N$ consist of all elements that do not have this extra property. //This isn't really correct.//
