editing of short passage

[Tan Elaine]

Hi guys

Could some member/s edit the following short passage for me. Thanks in advance.

A boy was jaywalking when he was almost knocked down by a car. Fortunately, the driver managed to brake in time and so prevented an accident,

“Hey, little boy, you should be careful when crossing the road,” the driver advised him..

“I’m sorry,” he responded. “I did not see your car approaching.”

“You shouldn’t jaywalk. You are endangering your life. Are you aware that your act could have caused another vehicle to crash into mine?”

“I won’t play on the road again. Now I realise how dangerous jaywalking is.”

The driver continued on his journey, happy that the boy had learnt a lesson.

Hello Elaine,

I don't see any major problems there. Check your pronunciation, though!

All the best,

Hello, MrPedantic

Many thanks. It's nice hearing from you, as I have not heard from you for ages.

And thanks for letting know the passage is free of errors except there is a problem with pronunciation. I believe you wanted to write 'punctuation'. I have spotted two punctuation errors and replace them with the correct punctuation marks. I hope there is none left.

With warmest wishes

Elaine

I believe you wanted to write 'punctuation'.

Exactly right! I don't know how "pronunciation" crept in...

But the punctuation is now fine, except after "accident" and "advised him".

Have a very good Sunday!

All the best,

MrP

Hello, Mr Pedantic

I'm really very careless. I thought everything was fine and yet it is not.

Many thanks, indeed.

And have a very good Sunday too.

Best regards

Elaine
