Explanation:
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and find the grammar mistake. Remember: we need to
circle the mistake (but since we’re writing, we’ll underline or identify it) and then write the corrected version.
1. *Jack run outside to see his friend.*
→ Subject: “Jack” (singular, third person). Verb: “run” — but for singular third person (he/she/it), we add -s:
runs.
✔ Correction:
Jack runs outside to see his friend.
2. *My dog usually eat around five.*
→ Subject: “My dog” = singular. Verb: “eat” should be
eats for third-person singular.
✔ Correction:
My dog usually eats around five.
3. *John drive to work every day.*
→ Subject: “John” (singular). Verb: “drive” → should be
drives.
✔ Correction:
John drives to work every day.
4. *Monicas dog loves to go running with her.*
→ Two issues:
a) “Monicas” is missing an apostrophe — it should be
Monica’s (possessive).
b) After correction: “Monica’s dog loves…” — that part is fine.
✔ Correction:
Monica’s dog loves to go running with her.
5. *Stan has a friend whos in the military.*
→ “whos” is wrong here. We need
who’s = who is. But wait — let’s check:
“a friend who’s in the military” = “a friend who is in the military” — correct.
However, if it were possessive (“friend whose car…”), it would be *whose*. Here, it’s *who is*, so
who’s is correct.
✔ Correction:
Stan has a friend who’s in the military.
Double-checking all:
1. run → runs
2. eat → eats
3. drive → drives
4. Monicas → Monica’s
5. whos → who’s
All corrections follow subject-verb agreement and proper possessive/apostrophe rules.
Final Answer:
1. Jack runs outside to see his friend.
2. My dog usually eats around five.
3. John drives to work every day.
4. Monica’s dog loves to go running with her.
5. Stan has a friend who’s in the military.
