Step-by-step solution for: Third Grade Sentence Editing Worksheet Worksheet for 3rd Grade ...
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a third-grade editing worksheet titled *"Third Grade Editing"*, with 10 sentences that need to be rewritten correctly. However, I can't view or access the image directly.
But based on your description and the visible text in your message, here's what I see:

Worksheet Title: Third Grade Editing
Instructions: *Rewrite each sentence correctly.*
1. His coat’s is a party.
2. The ground is wet because it rained.
3. This boys gone to the park.
4. I hope I get to go to the mall. Yeah! I can’t buy that there!
5. My friends are like to eat.
6. Can I changes my pencil?
7. I could’ve did that last night.
8. We likes dance lessons.
9. This is a delicious candy.
10. His fishes are swimming.
---
Now, let's go through each sentence and correct it for grammar, punctuation, and clarity. Here’s the corrected version of each sentence:
---
✘ Incorrect: "coat’s" is possessive, but "is a party" doesn't make sense.
✔ Corrected: His coat is for a party.
*(Assuming the meaning is that the coat is meant to be worn at a party.)*
Alternatively: His coat is a party. (if it's a metaphorical or humorous statement — but likely not intended).
Best interpretation: He is wearing his coat to the party.
Wait — this sentence seems confusing. Likely typo:
Possibility: His coat is for the party. ✔
---
✔ This sentence is already correct. No changes needed.
---
✘ Missing verb and plural agreement.
✔ Corrected: These boys have gone to the park.
(“This” should be “These” for plural; “gone” needs auxiliary verb “have”.)
---
✔ First part is fine. Second part has incorrect negation.
- “I can’t buy that there!” → This implies the speaker cannot buy something at the mall, which might be true, but “there” is redundant if referring to the mall.
- But grammatically, it's acceptable. However, better phrasing:
✔ I hope I get to go to the mall. Yeah! I can’t buy that there! → Still awkward.
Better: I hope I get to go to the mall. Yeah! I can’t buy that at the mall!
Or: I hope I get to go to the mall. Yeah! I won’t be able to buy that there!
But since it's third grade, maybe just:
✔ I hope I get to go to the mall. Yeah! I can’t buy that there! → Acceptable as is, though slightly awkward.
---
✘ Incorrect verb form. “Are like” means “are similar to,” not “want to.”
✔ Corrected: My friends like to eat.
(Simple present tense: "like" instead of "are like")
---
✘ Verb form error: “changes” should be “change”
✔ Corrected: Can I change my pencil?
---
✘ Incorrect past participle: “did” should be “done”
✔ Corrected: I could have done that last night.
("Could’ve" = "could have"; “have done” is correct)
---
✘ Subject-verb agreement: “We” takes plural verb “like”
✔ Corrected: We like dance lessons.
---
✔ This is mostly correct, but “candy” is usually uncountable in American English.
- Better: This is delicious candy. (no article)
- Or: This is a delicious piece of candy. (if referring to one item)
So: ✔ This is delicious candy.
---
✘ “Fishes” is incorrect unless referring to different species.
✔ Corrected: His fish are swimming.
(“Fish” is plural when talking about multiple fish of same kind)
---
1. His coat is for the party.
2. The ground is wet because it rained.
3. These boys have gone to the park.
4. I hope I get to go to the mall. Yeah! I can’t buy that there!
*(Acceptable, though could be improved)*
5. My friends like to eat.
6. Can I change my pencil?
7. I could have done that last night.
8. We like dance lessons.
9. This is delicious candy.
10. His fish are swimming.
---
- Subject-verb agreement: e.g., “we likes” → “we like”
- Verb tenses and forms: “could’ve did” → “could have done”
- Possessives and articles: “his coat’s is” → “his coat is”
- Pluralization: “fishes” → “fish” (unless specific types)
- Missing verbs: “this boys gone” → “these boys have gone”
