Explain what is wrong with the sentence: His motorcycle hit a parked car, but it wasn't damaged.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have other sentences that need revision (supposedly)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I love Michigan beacause you see so many different kinds of clouds in the sky.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

maybe a nicer way to write it is, "His motorcycle hit a parked car, but it didn't get damaged"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i need to say what is wrong with the original sentence not just revise it

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

I love Michigan because you see so many different kinds of clouds in the sky. <--inconsistent subjects. you used I and then you. You should stick to just using "I" i.e. I love Michigan because I see so many different kinds of clouds in the sky. <--inconsistent subjects.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i'll think about that motorcycle thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THX!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one more too

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i don't see any grammar errors in the first sentence o.O are you sure something is supposed to be wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I saw the whole parade sitting on the library steps.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

misplaced modifier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea the directions say briefly explain what is wrong with each of these sentences.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

your sentence makes it sound like the parade is sitting on the library steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how would i say that haha

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

do you mean how to change it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvrmd haha but thank you soooo much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now if i could just get the motorcylce one...

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

maybe it's a misplaced modifier too?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only thing i can guess is saying it? idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you dont know if the car was damaged or the motorcycle

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yeah that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you sure...?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

well like i said, that's the only thing i see wrong. Grammar is correct. Just the modifier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well thank you!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
