,1.1.1 Identify three words that make the above text
grammatically incorrect.
The three words that contribute to grammatical incorrectness in the
provided text are:
, 2. "Is" - in the phrase "their children is adults," the verb "is" does not
agree with the plural subject "children." The correct form should be
"are" to match the plural subject.
3. "Me" - in the sentence "Me will adopt their style of parenting," the
use of "Me" as the subject pronoun is incorrect. The correct
subject pronoun is "I."
4. "Supporting" - in the phrase "they have to supporting themselves,"
the verb form "supporting" is incorrect following the modal phrase
"have to." The correct form should be the base verb "support."
1.1. 2 briefly explain why each word is grammatically incorrect
in the text.
1. "Is" to "Are": The verb "is" should indeed be changed to "are" to
agree with the plural subject "children." This correction ensures
subject-verb agreement, a fundamental rule in English grammar
that states verbs must agree in number with their subjects.
2. "Me" to "I": "Me" should be corrected to "I" when used as the
subject of the sentence. "I" is the correct subject pronoun for
referring to the speaker or writer, while "me" is an object pronoun
used to refer to the speaker or writer as the object of a verb or
preposition.
3. "Supporting" to "Support": The verb form "supporting" should be
corrected to "support" in the context of the sentence. The
construction "have to" is used to express necessity or obligation
and must be followed by the base form of the verb, not the present
participle.
