Answer 2

Identify the error and write the correct sentence:

Explanation:

1.One of the boy has lost his book.

• One of the boys has lost his book.

• One of the boys is a singular countable noun.

2. There were mango trees on every side of the road.

• There were mango trees on either side of the road.

• 'Either' is the correct adjective to use in the distribution of two things.

3. Suzanne is an European girl.

• Suzanne is a European girl.

• European is a consonant sound word, so article 'a' should be used, not 'an.'

4. The cruel hunter-killed five deers.

• The cruel hunter-killed five deer.

• The plural form of deer is deer, not deers.

5. A ten years old girl won the first prize.

• A ten-year-old child won the first prize.

• The error is in the adjective.

6. If you will not work hard, you will fail.​

• If you do not work hard, you will fail.

• The error is in the tense form.
