Make VS makes , and launched VS launches

[Polyester]

Can you please correct my sentences as follow?:-|

1. If North Korea made a nuclear weapon and launched it successfully, South Korea, Japan and U.S will take an action to protect their land.

2. If North Korea makes a nuclear weapon and launches it successfully, South Korea, Japan and U.S will take an action to protect their land.

 

[emsr2d2]

You need to capitalise "Korea" each time and remove the "n" from the end of it.

North/South Korea = noun (name of country)
North/South Korean = adjective (citizen of those countries)

 

[Polyester]

Is it okay now?

Can you please help me? emsr2d2

 

[andrewg927]

Only the second one is correct. The first one sounds very strange.

Can you please correct my sentences? [STRIKE]as follow?[/STRIKE]

1. If North Korea made a nuclear weapon and launched it successfully, South Korea, Japan and U.S [STRIKE]will[/STRIKE] would take [STRIKE]an[/STRIKE] action to protect their lands.

2. If North Korea makes a nuclear weapon and launches it successfully, South Korea, Japan and U.S will take [STRIKE]an[/STRIKE] action to protect their lands.

See above.

 

[andrewg927]

Right. Take action, not take an action.

 

[Polyester]

In my own dictionary, I think "take an action" is correct.
Why do you say I am wrong?

 

[andrewg927]

In your own dictionary?

 

[Polyester]

Polyester's dictionary.
I meant myself.

 

[emsr2d2]

I didn't know you had written/published a dictionary! Please tell us the name of the dictionary in which you found the example and what word or aspect of English it was demonstrating.

 

[Polyester]

I meant what is the differences between two sentences?

Otherwise, I need to tell you I haven't published any dictionaries from myself. I meant Polyester's dictionary is equal to my knowledges.
