1. When you have a plural subject, you also need a plural verb form. These are singular forms: I am, you are, he/she/it is. These are plural forms: we are, you are, they are. How will you correct sentence #1?

2. Verb tenses are used to indicate WHEN an action took place. Basically, the tenses are present, past, and future, with some other tenses that are related directly to these. Examples:

present - walk
past - walked
future - will walk

present - write
past - wrote
future - will write

How will you correct #2?
