Answer 1

a) I wish I was a bird.

When singular pronouns are used, they're followed by singular verbs. However, there is an exceptional case when it comes to the pronoun 'I'. 'I' is usually followed by a plural verb. The correct sentence would therefore be:

• I wish I were a bird.

b) Unless you work hard you will pa‎ss.

When 'unless' is used, the second case usually takes the negative form. Even if we were to not look at by rules, the sentence wouldn't make sense. What the sentence is trying to convey is that, if you do not work hard, you wouldn't pa‎ss. Which is incorrect. Hence the correct sentence would be:

• Unless you work hard, you will not pa‎ss.

c) Anandh is senior than me.

The preposition 'than' is incorrect here. Comparative adjectives, like the one given in the sentence [senior], is usually followed by 'to'. The correct sentence would be:

• Anandh is senior to me.

d) I told him I could come.

The indirect form usually has 'that' before the message is conveyed. Hence the correct sentence would be:

• I told him that I could come.

e) Many a man have made a mistake.

'Many a' is usually followed by a singular verb. The correct sentence would be:

• Many a man has made a mistake.
