I am just a English bignner. My teacher asked me to correct this sentence. But I don't know where is wrong and how to correct.
Can I correct it like this: What does a small child do? Thank you very much!
had it been "how does a child do that"than it would have been right sentence otherwise "what does......do" is also right.
Yes, that's a correct sentence.Quote:

Teacher: "what does ... do that" is incorrect.Quote:
