Answer 1

Hi Jessica,

As a tutor, I cannot give you the answer. Neither can any other tutor; that would violate academic honesty policies. (Breaks rules of Wyzant, schools and universities as well as our own professional ethics)

However, as an ESL/English tutor, I usually recommend that my students read the sentences out loud. Your English is likely better than you think, and many of my students catch their own mistakes when they read their writing out loud. Give it a try, it usually helps!

Best,

Alisa D.

Answer 2

Remember that every sentence needs a subject and at least one verb. If it has more than one verb, they must be the same tense (talk about the same time, past, present, or future) and use the same number as the subject.
