Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

"Check this out" is a phrase native English speakers use that means "come and look at this". "Check this" means "review this for errors". Ex: Check this out! I got an "A" on my test. Ex: Can you check this? It's a paper I'm writing, I want to know if you see any mistakes.
