답변

Sally: If i were s fruits, I would be a apple.
CORRECT: If I were a fruit, I would be an apple.
EXPLANATION:
a. The pronoun 'I' is always capitalized.
b. Only one fruit.
c. If the noun starts with a vowel (AEIOU), AN should be used instead of A.




Sally: It's because apple was very tasty.
CORRECT: It's because apple is very tasty.
EXPLANATION:
a. If we say "apple was very tasty" that means it was tasty before but now, it's not tasty anymore. We need to use 'is' instead of 'was'.






Sally: And I like color of the apple.
CORRECT: Also, I like the color of the apple.
EXPLANATION:
a. Avoid using conjunctions (BECAUSE, AND, BUT etc.) as first words in a formal sentence.
b. Whenever we talk about apples, there is only one color that comes in our mind - RED. So "apple's color" is a definite object, thus, it needs a definite article.









Sally: Also, apple has many vitamin then I would be a applie.
CORRECT: Also, apple has many vitamins, then I would be an apple.
EXPLANATION:
a. "Many" pertains to more than one thing. Thus, "vitamin" should be plural as well.
b. If the noun starts with a vowel (AEIOU), AN should be used instead of A.
c. Be careful with the spelling.






Sally: However apple is not good at eat at night.
CORRECT: However, apple is not good to eat at night.
EXPLANATION:
a. TO is the preposition used with a verb to make the infinitive.




Sally: but I thought apple is a good fruits.
CORRECT: However, I thought apple is a good fruit.
EXPLANATION:
a. Avoid using conjunctions (BECAUSE, AND, BUT etc.) as first words in a formal sentence.
b. We are talking about apples in general so we make it singular.
