QUESTION 1: FIND AND CORRECT THE ERROR IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES

[5 marks]

We need to identify grammatical errors—especially in plural forms and subject-verb agreement.

#### 1.1 Fatimah asked for a pair of scissor.
- Error: "scissor" should be plural because "a pair of" refers to two blades.
- Correction: *Fatimah asked for a pair of scissors.*
- ✔ Explanation: "Scissors" is always used in the plural form, even when referring to one pair.

#### 1.2 I like fishes.
- Error: "fishes" is incorrect in this context unless referring to different species.
- Correction: *I like fish.*
- ✔ Explanation: When talking about fish in general (as food or animals), we use "fish." Use "fishes" only when referring to multiple species.

#### 1.3 Ben is wearing his favourite trouser.
- Error: "trouser" is singular; it should be plural because trousers are worn in pairs.
- Correction: *Ben is wearing his favourite trousers.*
- ✔ Explanation: "Trousers" is a plural noun and always takes a plural verb.

#### 1.4 There are many sheeps in the field.
- Error: "sheeps" is not correct. The plural of "sheep" is "sheep."
- Correction: *There are many sheep in the field.*
- ✔ Explanation: "Sheep" is an irregular noun—it has the same singular and plural form.

#### 1.5 The classroom is filled with childs.
- Error: "childs" is incorrect. The plural of "child" is "children."
