please help me which part of the following sentences must be changed.
- Even though the spring term has barely started, I am all ready looking forward to spring break.
**** Answer sheet sayes spring, but i think all ready is wrong and shoulb be changed to allready.

- Karen attributed the failure of her marrigae to her husband's inability to accept her change from mother to a businesswoman.
**** Answer sheet sayes "to" (the first one), but i think it is correct because of (attributed to).

Please help me find which part of the following sentences must be changed.
- Even though the spring term has barely started, I am all ready looking forward to spring break.
**** Answer sheet [STRIKE]sayes [/STRIKE] says spring, but[STRIKE] i[/STRIKE] I think all ready is wrong and [STRIKE]shoulb [/STRIKE] should be changed to allready. Yes, but it is spelled already. All ready means to be prepared - " I am all ready to go."

- Karen attributed the failure of her [STRIKE]marrigae [/STRIKE] marriage to her husband's inability to accept her change from mother to a businesswoman.
**** Answer sheet [STRIKE]sayes [/STRIKE] says "to" (the first one), but [STRIKE]i[/STRIKE] I think it is correct because of (attributed to). I agree with you.

So about the second one which underlined word is wrong?
Sorry I was in a hurry and I had some mistakes in writing.

None of the three underlined words is incorrect.

They have chosen from a test. The answer sheet is exits and says that in the first one "spring" and in the second one "to" after marriage are wrong and must be charged.

What did you mean by the two parts I have underlined and marked in red?

I imagine they are typos. The first should be 'exists', the second 'changed'.

"The answer sheet exists ...' is not natural. I'd probably say "I have a copy of the answer sheet ...'
