How to correct this sentence Since 1980, the aids epidemic has continued to spread widely throughout the world.
not sure what to do
The word "widely" and "throughout the world" seem redundant. You might delete one or the other.
More important, though, is this: The acronym is spelled with all caps -- AIDS -- since it stands for "acquired immune deficiency syndrome."
* aids = helps
* AIDS = acquired immune deficiency syndrome
* aides = helpers
Keep them straight.
To correct the sentence "Since 1980, the aids epidemic has continued to spread widely throughout the world," you can make a few changes. "Aids" should be capitalized as it represents a specific disease, and "since" should be changed to "since then" to provide a clear reference to 1980.
The corrected sentence would be:
"Since 1980, the AIDS epidemic has continued to spread widely throughout the world."
To identify these corrections, here are the steps you can follow:
1. Capitalize "AIDS": AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, which is a proper noun and should be capitalized.
2. Replace "since" with "since then": So that the sentence provides a clear reference to the year 1980, you can replace "since" with "since then" to indicate that the epidemic has been spreading widely starting from that time.
By applying these adjustments, you can improve the sentence's grammar and readability.
