identify the sentence that is correctly punctuated.
My mother called earlier and asked if I wouldnt mind taking her to the grocery store since her car broke down.
How will you correct that sentence?
To identify the sentence that is correctly punctuated, we need to analyze the punctuation of each sentence. Let's break down the provided sentence:
"My mother called earlier and asked if I wouldnt mind taking her to the grocery store since her car broke down."
This sentence is not correctly punctuated. The error lies in the placement of the contraction "wouldnt." The correct form of the contraction should be "wouldn't" with an apostrophe before the letter "n" to indicate the omission of the letter "o."
To correctly punctuate the sentence, it should be:
"My mother called earlier and asked if I wouldn't mind taking her to the grocery store since her car broke down."
In this corrected sentence, the contraction "wouldn't" is properly punctuated with an apostrophe before the letter "n."
