Kindly send me the correctly written sentences
.
I'd put "as" for the 2nd word in sentences 1, 2, and 4, just before the adjective -- as sentence 3 is written.
I'd also put "a" in front of "monkey" in sentence 2.
Otherwise, they're fine.
To determine if the given sentences are written correctly and make appropriate comparisons, we need to identify any grammatical mistakes or incorrect comparisons.
Let's analyze each sentence:
1. "He's slow as a tortoise."
This sentence is written correctly and makes an appropriate comparison between "he" and "a tortoise." It implies that "he" is slow, similar to the speed of a tortoise.
2. "It's ugly as monkey."
This sentence contains a grammatical error. The correct phrase should be "as ugly as a monkey." By adding the article "a" before "monkey," the sentence becomes grammatically correct and makes a proper comparison.
3. "She's as weak as a kitty."
This sentence is written correctly, and it presents a reasonable comparison between "she" and "a kitty." It suggests that "she" is as weak as a kitten.
4. "She's fast as a horse."
This sentence is written correctly as well. It forms a valid comparison between "she" and "a horse." It means that "she" is speedy or quick like a horse.
Corrected sentences:
1. He's slow as a tortoise.
2. It's as ugly as a monkey.
3. She's as weak as a kitty.
4. She's fast as a horse.
Please note that while the corrected sentences are grammatically accurate, the choice of comparisons (such as "ugly as a monkey" or "weak as a kitty") may be subjective or potentially offensive to some individuals. It is crucial to be mindful of the language used to avoid stereotypes or derogatory language.
