goes to school).

smell nice instead of smells nice).

1.3
Subject: The tomatoes
Verb: give
1.4
The sentence is incorrect because the subject ―many people‖ is plural, but the verb
―was‖ is singular. It should be: "There were too many people in that hall."
1.5
Error: The verb "are" does not agree with the singular subject "The teacher." The
phrase "along with the students" is extra information and does not change the
subject.
Corrected sentence: The teacher, along with the students, is excited for the trip.
