ok i'm having problems spotting grammatical errors in these sentences
1. Sylvia's desire work with horses is fed by a deep love for these creatures. 2. She is captivated by its beauty, strength, and spirit. 3. The horse, Beauty, taught Sylvia that horses have deep relationships with others, even humans. 4. That relationship has continued to impress me and others for years. i'm suppose to use either Verb-Tense error, Subject-Verb agreement, Homophone, Pronoun error, adjective error or adverb error. thanks a bunch i kind of need it by tomorrow

^I think of it differently, however.
1. agree with above 2. "it's" is wrong..."its" is supposed to be right, it is showing posessions (reference: http://www.cgl.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/its.html), so that must be "its," but currently I see nothing wrong with this sentence, I might have to figure it out later. 3. i believe verb consistency is a problem. "taught" is past tense and "have" is present tense. 4. it's "others and me," not "I." |
