Hi, Shaheen.
First of all I want to thank you for taking part in this challenge again.
There are still mistakes in 2./6,/7./9./11./14./15.
Would you like to try to solve them?
6. The life is beautiful but what does make me sad is the poverty.
7. I've read a lot about life of the American actor Robert Redford.
9. I need say her that I love her.
14. I'll visit my mom again next Sunday.
15. She is such a good friend to me.
Hello, Shaheen.
You had corrected 11. in your previous post. Your sentence is grammatically correct, but you changed the meaning of the sentence. My sentence means that I love team sports in general. I only gave handball as an example.
11. I love team-sports .............as handball. (Here is missing anther word.)
6. In your previous try, you have written the last part of the sentence correctly.
You wrote: 6. The life is beautiful but what makes me sad is poverty. (For uncountable nouns, we don't use an article like 'the')
Please, look at the beginning of your sentence!
7. CORRECT
9. I am sorry, this sentence is still wrong.
14. CORRECT
15. CORRECT
What about 2.? Would you try again? Your sentence is not wrong, but it has a different meaning. Someone shouldn't turn page 100 as you wrote. Somebody should open the book and then open the page 100. As you can see, the sentence contains two actions. The task is to use the correct sentence order.
2. Open your book at page 100.
6. Life is beautiful but what makes me sad is poverty.
9. I need saying her that I love her.
11. I love team-sports playing as handball.
Hi Shaheen.
2. This sentence is almost correct...but you haven't used the correct preposition. Instead of at page ...you should have written to page.
6. CORRECT
9. Please check the verb! When do we use the verb to say?
11. it's wrong again. I love team-sports.............as handball. Remove 'playing' in your sentence, please.
We don’t use as on its own to introduce examples. There is missing a determiner before as.
Thanks for the hints, Rose! I have to work out a lot on grammar. I guess making a nuke is much easier than learning all the grammar rules 😢
2. Open your book to page 100.
9. I need to tell her that I love her.
11. I love team-sports much as handball.
Hi, Shaheen.
2. CORRECT
9. CORRECT
11. Is much a typo or wanted you write such? (such is correct!)
