1Correct the following sentences and rewrite them: a) He is one of the cleverest boys in the class. b) The number of students in this college are increasing. c) She has been working here since two years.
Answer
a) Corrected: He is one of the cleverest boys in the class.
- Explanation: The sentence is grammatically correct, but the word "in" is often omitted in informal speech. In formal writing, it is better to include it for clarity.
b) Corrected: The number of students in this college is increasing.
- Explanation: The subject "the number" is singular, so the verb must be "is" instead of "are."
c) Corrected: She has been working here for two years.
- Explanation: "Since" is used with a specific point in time (e.g., since 2020), while "for" is used with a duration (e.g., for two years). The correct preposition here is "for."
