1. The correct form of "Marijuana" in this sentence is "is" because it is referring to a singular noun.
To check for subject-verb agreement, you can ask yourself, "What is the subject of the sentence?" In this case, the subject is "Marijuana," which is a singular noun. Therefore, it should be followed by the singular form of the verb "is," not "are."
2. The correct form of "can actually" in this sentence is "can have" as it is referring to the negative effects that marijuana can cause.
To find the correct form here, you can ask yourself, "What is the verb tense and subject?" The verb tense is "can" (indicating ability or possibility), and the subject is "use of marijuana regularly." When using "can" as a modal verb, it is normally followed by the word "have" followed by the base form of the main verb (in this case, "effects").
3. The correct phrase for the start of the following sentence is "In fact."
To decide which phrase to use, you can consider the meaning and structure of the sentence. "In fact" is often used to introduce additional information or support a previously stated fact. Here, it is being used to introduce the article's intention to demonstrate an unfortunate truth.
4. The correct article for the phrase "an unfortunate truth" is "an."
To determine the correct article, you can consider the sound that follows the article. In this case, the following word "unfortunate" starts with a vowel sound (pronounced /ʌ/). Therefore, the appropriate article is "an," which is used before a word that starts with a vowel sound.
5. The correct preposition for the phrase "lead to dangerous consequences" is "to."
To find the correct preposition, you can consider the context and the meaning you want to convey. In this case, the phrase "lead to" indicates a cause-and-effect relationship, where the use of marijuana can result in dangerous consequences. "Lead to" is a commonly used phrase to express this relationship.
Revised sentence:
1. Marijuana is not as placid as everyone thinks.
2. In fact, the use of marijuana regularly can actually have negative effects on both a physical and psychological nature.
3. In fact, this article will demonstrate an unfortunate truth that long-term use of marijuana can lead to dangerous consequences.
