Are these sentences wrong?
Hi dear teachers!
Art these sentences grammatically or logically wrong?
1.Fill in the blanks with a suitable verb to complete the sentences. ( There are five sentences on the page.)
2. Complete the following by adding a suitable phrase. (There are five incomplete sentences on the page.)
3. Describe these nouns by putting an adjective before them. ( There are five nouns on the page.)
I'm in a great hurry please!
Best regards!

I think your sentences are grammatically correct. But I have given you rewritten examples.

Thank you very much for your instant reply. Actually, someone told me that my sentences are incorrect. Instead, I should use plural words e.g. "Fill in the blanks with suitable verbs...", "Complete the following by putting phrases...", "Describe these nouns by putting adjectives... " etc. I used singular words everywhere as "a suitable verb", "a phrase", "an adjective" etc.
Looking forward to the answer...
Best regards!

Re: Are these sentences wrong?
I don't think your sentences are incorrect or illogical.
You may try this:
Fill in each blank with a suitable verb...
OR
Fill in the blanks with suitable verbs ...
Fill in the blanks with a suitable verb might lead to the confusion that they only have to use ONE single verb that matches every sentence.
There are different nouns / sentences etc. and therefore you need more than only one adjective / phrase etc.
I think that is what the person had in mind when he criticised your version.
