When mom sees red, I get very scared.

I can't stand a test.


A police officer tried to catch someone red-handed.


I lose my pencils all over the place every time so I always look for it.

All criminals should pay the price.


Emily: When mom sees red, I am very scared.

Correct: When mom sees red, I get very scared.

Explanation: We used an "Action verb" instead of the linking verb "am" because it is suited and completes the thought of your sentence. Since this is like an example of a "cause and effect relationship", wherein the cause is "when mom sees red" and the effect of this is "I get very scared".


Emily: I can't stand test.

Correct: I can't stand a test.

Explanation: Since we are talking just one test, kindly use an article. An article is a kind of adjective which is always used with and gives some information about a noun. Your noun in the sentence is the word: "test". There are only two articles a and the, but they are used very often and are important for using English accurately. With an article, it completes the thought of your sentence. If you are referring to a lot of test on your sentence then just make the test in plural form which is "tests". This is how your sentence goes: I can stand tests. This is also a correct form of sentence.


Emily: I lose my pencils well, so I always look for pencils.

Correct: I lose my pencils all over the place every time so I always look for it.

Explanation: All over the place is an idiom we learned from our lesson, since I asked you to use idioms, I changed "well" to the idiom we learned. I also added an Adverb of time which is "Every rime" since in your sentence you indicated that you always look for pencils. This will complete the meaning of your sentence. Also if the word/noun is already used in the sentence, please don't use it again since it will cause "redundancy" or "repetition. Replace the noun "pencil" with a pronoun which is it,.


Emily:All criminal should pay the price.

Correct: All criminals should pay the price.

Explanation:Remember subject-verb agreement, Some indefinite pronouns such as all, some? are singular or plural depending on what they're referring to. (Is the thing referred to countable or not) Be careful choosing a verb to accompany such pronouns. In your sentence, criminals are countable, so we use a plural form of the noun which is criminals.


I know you have a lot of questions about this Emily, but don't worry! We will discuss about this on our next meeting. I will make sure that you will understand this. I am very happy for taking the time doing your homework. I will see you on Wednesday! Have a good night's rest for now.
