1. The original sentence is "Pete plays baseball every Sunday morning."
corrected to "Pete plays baseball on Sunday mornings."
The revised sentence is not 'corrected'. The original version was correct; so is the revised version. The original version adds the idea of 'every'.
b. Is the plural indicated by "morning"? Or by Sunday"s"?
In the original, the plurality is shown by 'every'. In the revised version, it is shown by the plural form 'Sundays'.
