1. We continued our walk on a dry

4. and asked, “What lives down there?”
5. I said that there lived prairie dogs.
Explanation:
In first line, I have considered the ‘walk’ as a noun, instead of taking it as verb. So the pronoun (our) has been added before ‘walk’. In the second sentence, past tense should be used (came), as the second part of the sentence has a past tense (stood) in it. In third sentence, ‘those’ has been updated instead of ‘them’, as it refers ‘holes’. In fourth, the person make a question, so ‘asked’ is added instead of ‘said’. In fifth sentence, ‘there’ should be used, as the word ‘their’ is inappropriate.
