QUESTION 1 1.1 GRAMMAR [10] Identify and explain the grammatical error in
each of the sentences below and rewrite the sentences following the correct
grammatical rules: 1.1.1 The students is excited about the upcoming
university orientation. (2)
The error in this sentence is Subject-Verb Agreement.
Explanation: The subject of the sentence, "students," is plural. According to the rules of subject-
verb agreement, a plural subject must be paired with a plural verb. The auxiliary verb "is" is
singular and is incorrectly used here; the correct plural form of the verb 'to be' is "are."
Correct Sentence: The students are excited about the upcoming university orientation.
Sentence:
The students is excited about the upcoming university orientation.
Error Identified:
The subject–verb agreement is incorrect.
Students is plural, but the verb is is singular.
Therefore, the verb must agree in number with the plural subject.
, Corrected Sentence:
The students are excited about the upcoming university orientation.
1.1.2 The professor and the students was eager to discuss the new syllabus.
(2) Read the following sentences and identify the adverbs. Then, rewrite the
sentences with corrections or improvements where necessary.
1.1.2 The professor and the students was eager to discuss the new syllabus.
The error in this sentence is Subject-Verb Agreement (specifically, a compound subject error).
Explanation: The sentence has a compound subject joined by "and": "The professor and the
students." A compound subject connected by "and" is treated as plural, regardless of whether the
individual parts are singular or plural. The verb "was" is singular. The correct plural form of the
verb 'to be' in the past tense is "were."
Correct Sentence: The professor and the students were eager to discuss the new syllabus.
Adverb Identification and Sentence Rewrite
The prompt asks you to identify the adverbs in the following sentences and then rewrite the
sentences with necessary corrections or improvements. Since no further sentences were
provided, I will give an example using the sentence provided in 1.1.2:
Example Sentence: The professor and the students were eagerly discussing the new syllabus
yesterday.
