I have some sentences that do not make sense can you help me?
1. a giant monster attacted the warehouse yesterday morning the warehouse makes sneakers. --- I think this is a run-on sentence, but I am not sure.
2. At 3 pm i will be feeding the ducks. At the park.--- I think it is a verb form and tense- but on the other hand im thinking it could be a sentence frangment.
3. They is both happy. I think it is a subject-verb agreement
4. This morning I watch TV before I drove here. I think it is verb form and tense.
5. The bank robber escaped from the bank. With some money. Im thinking it is a fragment.
6.That brand of car goes very fast, which is why many people wants them. I think it is a subject-verb agreement.
7. Grammar quizzes can be tough there is a lot to learn it is hard to remember I find that it gets easier with practice. I think it would be a run-on sentence.
8. Can I call you back? I am try to escape from the giant monster attacking the warehouse. I think itis subject-verb agreement.

Can you please let me know if I got any of these correct. I have already reworte the sentences. I just need to know if I got the grammar part right or not. Thank you

Hi, and welcome to Using English.

8 is tense - I am trying.

Please try to think of better titles for your threads in the future than "grammar." That will help us. Thanks.

Correct. At the park a fragment.

3. They is both happy.
Correct. The problem is subject-verb agreement.

4. This morning I watch TV before I drove here.
Correct: The problem is tense.

5. The bank robber escaped from the bank._With some money.
Correct. With some money is a fragment.

6. That brand of car goes very fast, which is why many people wants them.
Correct. It's subject-verb agreement.

Correct. It's a run-on sentence.

The problem is not subject-verb agreement (the verb am agrees with the subject I). The problem, as Barb pointed out, is tense (Be + -ing: am trying).
