You made only one mistake.

The children was very happy.

That should be: “The children were very happy.”

You did very well there. Bravo!

Thanks gwendolinest,
I am hopeful to not make spelling mistakes in future....may be someday.

I am hopeful to not make spelling mistakes in future....may be someday.

Could be: "I hope not to make spelling mistakes in future"

PS - I doubt anyone alive is always correct in their spelling - it will get better (at least, that's what I keep telling myself )

PPS - Happy new year!

They will go to a toy shop for spending their Eidi.

In your conversion to future tense, I saw only one mistake other that the spelling that Gwen pointed out.

The quoted line should be:

They will go to a toy shop to spend their Eidi.

:wink:

I didn’t see that!

However, ProudToBeMuslim’s original sentence “They will go to a toy shop for spending their Eidi.” is grammatically sound. It’s just that in most cases, we would say “to spend” instead of “for spending”.
