Step-by-step solution for: 135 Grade 9 English ESL worksheets pdf & doc
Let's solve each of the social media posts by rewriting them with proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Here’s a step-by-step explanation for each:
---
1. *workin hard tryn stack dat paper. money stars all day baby. imma young entrapunore tryn make one sum dollaz.*
Rewritten:
I'm working hard trying to stack that paper. Money starts all day, baby. I'm a young entrepreneur trying to make some dollars.
Explanation:
- "workin" → "working" (correct spelling)
- "tryn" → "trying" (common abbreviation in slang)
- "dat paper" → "that paper" (slang for money)
- "money stars" → "money starts" (likely typo; "stars" should be "starts")
- "imma" → "I'm a" (contraction of "I am a")
- "entrapunore" → "entrepreneur" (misspelled word)
- "make one sum dollaz" → "make some dollars" (slang cleaned up)

2. *Yea...some times I think I should get up earlier...then I roll over in my bed and think...yeeeah, better not.*
Rewritten:
Yeah, sometimes I think I should get up earlier. Then I roll over in my bed and think, "Yea, better not."
Explanation:
- "Yea" → "Yeah" (more common spelling)
- "some times" → "sometimes" (one word)
- Added proper punctuation: periods and commas
- Capitalized first letter of sentence
- Quoted the internal thought for clarity
---
3. *new fone inbox for the number*
Rewritten:
New phone inbox for the number.
Explanation:
- "fone" → "phone" (spelling correction)
- "inbox" is correct but contextually might mean “text message inbox” or “notification” — we keep it as-is since it's vague but grammatically acceptable
- Capitalize first word and add period
---
4. *I can't do this anymore I can't take it!*
Rewritten:
I can't do this anymore. I can't take it!
Explanation:
- Add a period between the two independent clauses to separate sentences
- Keep exclamation point for emphasis
- Proper capitalization and spacing
---
5. *Seems too stupid to be real. Skeptical.*
Rewritten:
It seems too stupid to be real. I’m skeptical.
Explanation:
- Add subject ("It") to first sentence for completeness
- "Skeptical" → "I’m skeptical" to form a complete sentence
- Capitalize first letters and add period
---
6. *Omg ryan ju pooped and peed on the potry*
Rewritten:
OMG, Ryan just pooped and peed on the potty.
Explanation:
- "Omg" → "OMG" (standard capitalization)
- "ryan" → "Ryan" (proper noun capitalization)
- "ju" → "just" (slang abbreviation)
- "pooped and peed" → correct verb forms
- "potry" → "potty" (spelling correction)
- Add comma after interjection and period at end
