QUESTION 1: LANGUAGE, GRAMMAR, AND DICTIONARY WORK
1.1 Read the sentences below and fix the grammar errors that appear:
Correct the subject-verb errors below:
1.1.1 The boys runs fast through the park every morning.
Corrected: The boys run fast through the park every morning.
Explanation: "Boys" is a plural subject, so the verb must agree in number. "Run" is the
correct plural verb form to match the subject.
1.1.2 She enjoy playing the netball and the cricket.
Corrected: She enjoys playing netball and cricket.
Explanation: "She" is a singular subject, so we need the singular verb "enjoys." Also,
"the" before sports is unnecessary in standard usage unless referring to a specific
event.
Correct the run-on sentences below:
1.1.3 I wanted to go to the store I needed some groceries but I didn't have time to
get there before it closed.
Corrected: I wanted to go to the store because I needed some groceries, but I didn't
have time to get there before it closed.
Explanation: This is a run-on sentence because it joins multiple independent clauses
without proper punctuation. Using conjunctions ("because," "but") and commas helps
separate and clarify the thoughts.
1.1.4 The weather was beautiful we decided to have a picnic in the park however
we forgot to bring any food with us.
