Step-by-step solution for: Free Printable Grammar Practice Worksheet
Let's go through each sentence one by one, identify the grammatical mistake, and then provide the corrected version.
---
1. Jack run outside to see his friend.
- Mistake: "run" should be "runs" because the subject "Jack" is singular and the sentence is in the present tense.
- Corrected sentence: *Jack runs outside to see his friend.*
✔ Correction: Change run → runs
---
2. My dog usually eat around five.
- Mistake: "eat" should be "eats" because the subject "my dog" is singular.
- Corrected sentence: *My dog usually eats around five.*
✔ Correction: Change eat → eats
---
3. John drive to work every day.
- Mistake: "drive" should be "drives" because "John" is a singular subject.
- Corrected sentence: *John drives to work every day.*
✔ Correction: Change drive → drives
---
4. Monicas dog loves to go running with her.
- Mistake: "Monicas" is missing an apostrophe to show possession. It should be "Monica's" to indicate that the dog belongs to Monica.
- Corrected sentence: *Monica's dog loves to go running with her.*
✔ Correction: Add apostrophe → Monica's
---
5. Stan has a friend whos in the military.
- Mistake: "whos" is missing an apostrophe. It should be "whose" (possessive pronoun), not "who's" (which means "who is").
- However, in this context, it's "whose", meaning "belonging to whom", so it’s correct as whose, not who's.
- Corrected sentence: *Stan has a friend whose in the military.* → Wait! There's a small error here too: “whose” needs to be followed by a noun or verb. But the sentence says “whose in the military” — this is incorrect.
Actually, the full phrase should be:
👉 *"Stan has a friend whose [friend] is in the military."*
But the original says: *"Stan has a friend whos in the military."*
So the mistake is:
- "whos" → should be "whose" (possessive)
- But "whose in the military" is incomplete. The correct form is: "whose friend is in the military" or "whose brother is in the military", etc.
But since the sentence is likely meant to say something like:
> "Stan has a friend whose [someone] is in the military."
However, if we assume the intended meaning is:
> "Stan has a friend who is in the military,"
Then the word "whos" is actually "who's", meaning "who is", not "whose".
Wait — let's clarify:
- "Whose" = possessive (e.g., "The book whose cover is red")
- "Who's" = contraction of "who is" or "who has"
In this case:
> "Stan has a friend who is in the military."
So the sentence should use "who's", not "whose".
But the original says: "whos" — which is a misspelling of "who's".
Therefore:
- The mistake is "whos" → should be "who's"
- But even then, the sentence would be: *"Stan has a friend who's in the military."* — which is correct.
✔ Correction: Change whos → who's
But note: "who's" is a contraction of "who is", so the sentence becomes:
> "Stan has a friend who is in the military."
This is grammatically correct.
So final correction:
✘ whos → ✔ who's
