Let’s fix each sentence one at a time. We need to find the mistakes and rewrite them correctly.
---
First worksheet: C-26
1.
Original: “My brother and me washed our moms car.”
- Mistake 1: “me” should be “I” because it’s part of the subject (who did the washing).
→ Correct: “My brother and I...”
- Mistake 2: “moms” needs an apostrophe to show possession — it’s *mom’s* car.
→ Correct: “...our mom’s car.”
✔ Fixed sentence:
“My brother and I washed our mom’s car.”
2.
Original: “Its are gift for her birth day.”
- Mistake 1: “Its” is wrong here — we’re talking about something belonging to someone, so it should be “It’s” (short for “It is”) or maybe they meant “This is”? But looking at context, probably meant “It’s a gift...”
- Mistake 2: “are” doesn’t fit — if it’s one gift, use “is”.
- Mistake 3: “birth day” should be one word: “birthday”.
Let’s re-read: Maybe they meant “It’s a gift for her birthday.” That makes sense.
✔ Fixed sentence:
“It’s a gift for her birthday.”
Wait — let’s double-check. The original says “Its are gift...” — that’s two errors in subject/verb agreement and spelling. Best fix:
→ “It’s a gift for her birthday.” (assuming “its” was meant to be “it’s”, and “are” should be “a” or “is” — but “a gift” fits better.)
Actually, another possibility: Maybe they meant “These are gifts...”? But the original says “gift” (singular), so likely “It’s a gift...”
We’ll go with:
“It’s a gift for her birthday.”

Second worksheet: C-27
1.
Original: “Were learning bout kangaroos at school.”
- Mistake 1: Missing subject — who is learning? Probably “We’re” (we are).
- Mistake 2: “bout” is slang/informal — should be “about”.
✔ Fixed sentence:
“We’re learning about kangaroos at school.”
2.
Original: “Kangaroo mothers carry there babies in a pouch on there belly.”
- Mistake 1: “there” should be “their” (possessive — belonging to them).
- Mistake 2: Second “there” also should be “their”.
✔ Fixed sentence:
“Kangaroo mothers carry their babies in a pouch on their belly.”
Note: “belly” is singular — since each mother has one belly, that’s fine. Some might say “bellies” if referring to multiple mothers’ bellies, but “on their belly” is acceptable as a general statement.

Final Answer:
C-26:
1. My brother and I washed our mom’s car.
2. It’s a gift for her birthday.
C-27:
1. We’re learning about kangaroos at school.
2. Kangaroo mothers carry their babies in a pouch on their belly.
