Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Correcting Mistakes: Rewrite the Sentences | Proofing and Editing ...
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the mistakes. We’ll look for spelling, punctuation, capitalization, or grammar errors — then rewrite each sentence correctly.

---

1. The so ool Principle will visit the class tommorow.

- “so ool” → should be “school”
- “Principle” → should be “Principal” (a principal is a person; principle is a rule)
- “tommorow” → misspelled, should be “tomorrow”

Corrected: The school Principal will visit the class tomorrow.

---

2. Victor walked home by himself in the poring rain.

- “poring” → wrong word, should be “pouring” (rain pours down)

Corrected: Victor walked home by himself in the pouring rain.

---

3. The dog barked at the postman he must have been frightened.

- Missing punctuation between two complete thoughts → needs a period or semicolon
- Also, “he” refers to the dog? Better to say “it” to avoid confusion

Corrected: The dog barked at the postman. It must have been frightened.

*(Alternatively: “The dog barked at the postman; it must have been frightened.”)*

---

4. It were to late, for Elle to come over, but Diane asked her any way.

- “were” → should be “was” (subject “It” is singular)
- “to late” → should be “too late” (“too” means excessively)
- “any way” → should be “anyway” (one word when meaning “regardless”)

Corrected: It was too late for Elle to come over, but Diane asked her anyway.

---

5. We asked the man for desections to the store, but he don’t know where it’s at.

- “desections” → misspelled, should be “directions”
- “don’t” → should be “doesn’t” (subject “he” is third person singular)
- “where it’s at” → informal/incorrect; better to say “where it is”

Corrected: We asked the man for directions to the store, but he doesn’t know where it is.

---

6. Which is how the bird flye dinto the house.

- “Which is how…” → awkward phrasing; probably meant “This is how…”
- “flye dinto” → typo, should be “flew into”
- Sentence structure is off — let’s make it clear

Corrected: This is how the bird flew into the house.

---

7. My Mother is the best mother in the world she is kind to everyone.

- “Mother” → no need to capitalize unless it’s used as a name (like “Hi, Mom!”). Here, it’s just “my mother”
- Two complete sentences stuck together → need a period or conjunction

Corrected: My mother is the best mother in the world. She is kind to everyone.

---

8. They swammed in the pool untill it was allmost dark.

- “swammed” → misspelled, should be “swam”
- “untill” → misspelled, should be “until”
- “allmost” → misspelled, should be “almost”

Corrected: They swam in the pool until it was almost dark.

---

Final Answer:

1. The school Principal will visit the class tomorrow.
2. Victor walked home by himself in the pouring rain.
3. The dog barked at the postman. It must have been frightened.
4. It was too late for Elle to come over, but Diane asked her anyway.
5. We asked the man for directions to the store, but he doesn’t know where it is.
