Hi, Chuck,
It seems the forum guidelines say one isn't supposed to do their homework here. Why not work it out yourself?
It's impossible for a teacher to see your weak points and teach you right unless you do your homework yourself. Making mistakes is not a tragedy, it's a necessary experience; it just shows where it hurts and enables to choose the appropriate remedy or treatment. We all learn from our mistakes.
Best wishes
Cheers

Question Re: Beg for help! need help on fix the sentences

hello, i did my homework and handed to the teacher. This was returned to me graded, but the teacher didn't correct my mistake, he wants me to find the mistake myself. Obviously, i think i was right, and it's not. Therefore I turn to this forum for help because the only answer I know is the wrong answer. It's not like i am doing my homework here. I am seeking helps on what i did wrong. But i thank you very much for your advice.
