Today girls have broken the five foot barrier and in some cases are almost a half foot taller than their grandmothers

Explanation:

  • We do not use "the" before plurals generally. The is used to describe a "specific noun"; nevertheless the use of "the" in certain cases are allowed when those plural nouns are "specific", example, The lions that are living at the zoo. In the above case they are referring to "girls in general", which implies all girls/any girls
  • Here the verb shouldn't be  "broke" & instead should be "broken" because it is followed by the "auxiliary verb" "have". "Broken" is the "past participle"  and we use "past participle" when it follows "have/had/has" to create "past tenses"
  • The use of preposition "on" is wrong here and we must use the preposition "in" as it is used to indicate " opinion/belief/ feeling/and so on".. here  "some cases.......is half ...taller" refers to an opinion/reference to something, therefore, we must use the preposition "in".
  • When the subject is a plural noun we use "are" and not "is", so here we use are almost and not is almost, because the subject girls are plural.
  • Last, instead of "then" we use "than" since, "than' is used when you're "talking about comparisons"; "then" is used when  we are "talking about something" "relating to time"
